Andrew Corp. won a major upgrade contract to modify the Mass Transit Railway Corp.’s territorywide network in Hong Kong.
As part of the project, Andrew will upgrade infrastructure in stations, tunnels, and other buildings to migrate the railway’s radio system from an 80 MHz trunk radio system to an 800 MHz TETRA system, the company announced.
TETRA is a mobile radio standard often used by public-safety and emergency organizations. The existing network was built in the early 1990s and the upgrade will support more advanced functions including individual and group calling and digital data transmission. Andrew previously upgraded MTRC’s wireless network infrastructure to support UMTS in 2004.
