Translink NI Railways and Motorola have selected ErvoCom as its train radio supplier for the new TETRA-based TRANSLINK communications network. As part of this rollout, ErvoCom will deliver 156 train radio sets and 11 train radio dispatchers to Motorola Solutions.

The on-board Train Radio System TRS2090 will be delivered as IP65 variant of ZSE2130 with embedded Motorola MXM600 TETRA transceiver that is highly suitable for easy retrofitting of Translink’s fleet of CAF Class 3000 and Class 4000 diesel multiple units. The COCO2137 control unit will serve as the HMI, providing an intuitive and robust driver interface.

In addition, the signaling areas and OCC will be equipped with ErvoCom’s TRADIS – Train Radio Dispatch System. Tailored graphical user interfaces will streamline daily operational communication and enhance operator efficiency.

The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) launched a tender last year for new passenger and emergency intercom units. ErvoCom once again prevailed as a trusted long-term supplier and will equip SBB with up to 11’000 intercom units for new rolling stock as well as retrofit projects. The second-generation intercom unit, developed in accordance with the latest RT40100:2024 standard, combines state-of-the-art audio technology with enhanced noise suppression to ensure maximum speech intelligibility. The contract award further strengthens ErvoCom’s position as a leading provider of PA- and intercom systems and highlights SBB’s continued confidence in ErvoCom’s innovative solutions.

Together with Interautomation, ErvoCom has successfully implemented the onboard and wayside passenger information system for the Centovalli Railway (FART). A key component of this project was the integration with the SBB CUS data hub, a nationwide Swiss platform that enables the exchange of timetable and real-time public transport data. Thanks to this integration, passengers now benefit from accurate real-time information on onward connections, delays, and other relevant travel events at all times. The successful implementation of the SBB CUS interface marks an important milestone in providing Swiss railway operators with modern, future-proof passenger information solutions.

ErvoCom has been commissioned to completely renew the TETRA on-board train radio system of Dublin’s LUAS light rail network. The TRU25 central control unit in conjunction with two HMI’s COCO2167 at either train head replaces the existing system entirely, ensuring future-proof voice and data communication across the entire network. A key component of the project is the central control unit TRU25, developed to precisely align with LUAS’s functional specifications and ensure full interoperability with current vehicle and infrastructure interfaces. After successfully delivering and commissioning the TETRA train radio dispatcher at the Operational Control Centre (OCC), ErvoCom was once again chosen to supply the new train radio systems, a result of strong customer satisfaction and continuous innovation.

ErvoCom continues its successful expansion into the international market and has won two new contracts in Asia this year. For the Jakarta Light Rail Transit (LRT) "Velodrome to Manggarai" project, ErvoCom will supply Tetra-based train radio systems based on a ZSE2130 central control unit and a modern DMI2177 touchscreen HMI, which can be easily connected to the central control unit via the train's existing ETHERNET network. For the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), ErvoCom will supply ZSE2130 central control units and CoCo2137 incl. audio accessories. The delivery also includes option modules for integrating intercom and passenger announcement systems, the Train Information System (TIS), as well as for forwarding man-down and emergency brake alarms.

Following the successful rollout of ErvoCom technology across a large portion of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) fleet, another major European railway operator, Deutsche Bahn (DB), was acquired as a customer at the beginning of 2025. For Deutsche Bahn, ErvoCom is supplying the complete Phone & Announcement System (PAN), including the RCSS communication switching software. This software acts as a central communication hub while also serving as a tool for system configuration and commissioning. The new partnership underlines ErvoCom's increasing international relevance in the field of state-of-the-art passenger information and communication systems.

In 2024, ErvoCom was delighted to be awarded for a contract of Siemens India regarding the Tetra-based train radio and train dispatching system for Metro Pune Line 3, promoted by India's largest conglomerate, the house of Tatas & Siemens financial services. The scope of delivery includes 44 train radio systems TRS2090 comprising of central control units ZSE2130 including HMI’s CoCo2137 as well as a TRADIS2167 train dispatching system with two servers and six dispatcher consoles directly connected via the API of the Tetra base stations from Damm Cellular Systems. The TRS2090 and TRADIS2167 system solutions are customized to the requirements of the Indian market, so that the customer gets a system tailored to his needs.

After a one year break, Innotrans will finally take place again in Berlin from September 24-27, 2024. ErvoCom will be present with a large booth in hall 4.1, booth 665. Experience live the most modern and innovative digital audio and telephony solution PAN-SYS G2 for Rolling Stock on the market or inform yourself about the latest train radio solutions from ErvoCom. We are looking forward to welcoming you personally at our booth.

Holon is a leading manufacturer in the development of autonomous buses. Reliable communication plays an important role since communication with passengers no longer takes place from a bus driver, but wireless via the control center. The innovative PAN platform of ErvoCom is the hub for the communication within the self-driving bus. Hence, the passengers can be reliably informed at all times by means of announcements and intercoms.
