As part of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) retrofit project APFZ 2.0 in 2017, ErvoCom succeeded in winning two tenders for the audio amplifier and the human machine interface. Now, two years later, ErvoCom has succeeded once again winning the contract for 2’600 Passenger and Emergency Intercom Boxes. The device is used for communication between passengers and local police in cases of accidents or emergencies.
Highest quality in line with best flexibility and power of innovation has led to the current status that train communication systems made by ErvoCom are almost everywhere to be found operational worldwide. Also in this year we already had great success in winning new projects. In Asia ErvoCom delivers Cab Radios for METRO Hanoi (Vietnam) and for new CAF-trains for the METRO in Manila (Philippines). In the USA the good partnership with Stadler Rail is continuing since we are furnishing the new double deck trains for CalTrain and SBCTA by the radio system TRS2090. The most recent order has arrived from Sweden, where ErvoCom is contracted by Stadler Rail to deliver 22 train radio systems for new public transport trains for the northern and eastern areas of greater Stockholm.

The Swiss-Spanish joint venture Joca-Molinari has been awarded to build the complete city tram-lines in Cochabamba, Bolivia. ErvoCom was chosen as the contractor for the whole communications network, passenger information systems and CCTV. The scope related to the infrastructure part comprises of planning, engineering, manufacture, commissioning and system launch of a TETRA based radio system for eleven base stations and a stationary passenger information system for every tram platform including CCTV.
For the rolling stock ErvoCom will deliver the new IP-based passenger information system with CCTV together with the train radio system TCH – Train Communication Hub. The TCH system allows the control of all rolling stock communications sub-systems via one single human machine interface, the DMI2177.
The operation and control center will be equipped with the ErvoCom Train Radio Dispatcher TRADIS. This system allows for easy and efficient call management from and to the tram-drivers, to the passenger announcement systems as well as from and to the passengers via the emergency terminals EMI2187.
For providing this big prestigious project ErvoCom is proud to collaborate with Swiss-Spanish joint venture Joca-Molinari, Stadler Minsk and BÄR Bahnsicherung.
At the beginning of 2018, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) launched a call for tenders to implement a new Security Communications network, incorporating multiple locations into a new, modern radio system. With its extensive know-how in the field of radio communications and a compelling, as well as comprehensive proposal, ErvoCom successfully convinced ETH Zurich and was awarded the contract for this prestigious project. The project includes the development of TETRA based infrastructure including in-house location tracking, radio dispatcher workstations and several alarm transmission features. With the self-developed guardian radio system and the smart Communication Platform (radio dispatcher workstation), many core components have already been developed, which will be customized for this project. ETH Zurich will thus receive a system tailored to its needs, which corresponds to the most modern technology standard and that can be expanded in a modular way. A high degree of innovation, greater flexibility to quickly integrate customer requirements and greater quality awareness have led to ErvoCom being awarded the contract for the new Security Communications System.
The extremely high customer satisfaction of Metro Santiago de Chile, as well as railway operator Marmaray, has led to additional follow-up projects in the railway market, in which ErvoCom will deliver the Train Radio System TRS2090 to its customers. In addition, ErvoCom has been awarded the contract for the new Stadler trains of Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat Valenciana (FVG), which will be equipped with the TRS2090 (TETRA). As part of this contract, FGV will also receive a new dispatcher solution for communication between operation center (OCC) and the vehicles.
