The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) has rolled out 4G upgrades to communications mobile sites across its 8,500km rail network. This included the upgrading 13 tunnels in NSW. To support the design of the telecommunications upgrades, Agonics recorded and processed high density Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) data across all 13 tunnels and supplied its XERRA software so Downer Wireless could complete design work using XERRA’s kinematic clearance algorithms.
The NTCS project was recognised at the Australasian Rail Industry Awards earlier this month taking out the coveted Infrastructure Project Excellence Award. The team at Agonics would like to congratulate everyone involved in the National Train Communications System (NTCS) upgrade project
