DAMM provides enhanced safety on Moscow Metro

DAMM's TetraFlex® system was chosen by Moscow Metro to provide a secure and reliable communication system for enhanced safety and improved operational efficiency. The project was secured through DAMM's local partner in Russia; Integra Pro Co.

Moscow Metro was opened in 1935. Today, its 12 lines cover 301.2 km and 182 stations and carry between 7-9 million passengers a day, making Moscow Metro the second most heavily used rapid transport system in the world.
 
Continuous growth in passenger numbers and regular track extensions place high demands on both safety and operational efficiency. What is more, the technologies chosen to meet those demands need to be flexible enough to meet changing requirements in the future.

A top-quality, highly reliable radio communication system is essential and plays many roles. Potential security threats and more routine emergency situations create a demand for safe and reliable communication interoperability between different emergency agencies, including the police, rescue and security services. In addition, efficient staff management and control helps increase day-to-day efficiency, while passenger services are improved through passenger information delivered via data transfer.

After investigating all available technologies, Moscow Metro found TETRA to be the most suitable technology to meet their requirements for security, reliability and flexibility in terms of changing future communication demands. As a result, Moscow Metro recently decided to upgrade their current system of mixed technologies with the integrated TETRA-based TetraFlex® communication system from Damm Cellular Systems.
