DAMM wins Mumbai Monorail Phase II and Continues TETRA Success in Rail

DAMM Cellular Systems A/S has through its partner Consort Digital been awarded the contract to provide TETRA based mission-critical radio communication system for the second phase of Mumbai Monorail between Wadala Depot and Gadge Maharaj Chowk.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has awarded India’s first Monorail Project in Mumbai, to a joint consortium between SCOMI and L&T. The Mumbai Monorail Project will have 2 lines and cover 19 Km with 17 stations when Phase II is completed. Consort Digital is an established TETRA system integrator, and will be responsible for supply, installation, integration and commissioning of the entire project.

DAMM will supply a future-proof, state-of-art TetraFlex solution to meet the requirements of the customer for a feature rich, reliable and safe communication system. The DAMM TetraFlex solution is a completely IP based solution with distributed architecture that provides the much needed fault tolerance to communication networks, such as the one being installed for the Mumbai Monorail. The DAMM TetraFlex solution is integrated to the signaling system, public announcement system, onboard train communication system, telephony system and centralized recording system.

Kjeld Pharao, CEO of DAMM states: “We are proud to continue the success in India with our experienced and trusted Partner, Consort Digital. Key to our successful rail solution is our decentralized architecture, being interconnected on pure IP based backbone.”

“Award of Phase II contract demonstrates the successful and reliable operation of the DAMM solution deployed for the first phase since 2012. The project will be completed in record time due to modularity and ease of deployment of the DAMM Outdoor base stations.” says Devdarsh Jain, Director Marketing, Consort Digital.
