Tait Communications已完成伦敦（TFL）地面舰队的运输工具的数字升级，拟合伦敦的9,200个红巴士，具有高可靠性的数字无线电通信。
Tait, a global leader in critical communications,was chosen in March 2018 by TfL用新的数字系统取代英国首都市总线无线电通信系统。该项目按时和预算成功完成了捷径。
The London bus network is made up of more than 650 contracted bus routes, providing more than two billion passenger journeys each year.
The bus radio system provides high-reliability voice and data connections between all busses and TfL's network of dispatch and control centres. Tait achieved initial cutover to the new system in November 2018, with operational commencement a month later.
"We place great value on our long-term relationship with Transport for London, so we're delighted to have delivered fully on the trust placed in us," says Garry Diack, CEO of Tait Communications.
TheTait Unified Vehicleplatform supplied to TfL is built with developing technologies in mind, enabling in-vehicle IP connectivity to future Intelligent Bus systems and additional communications. These include WiFi and Cellular alongside mobile radio, and the ability to run data applications to improve operational efficiency and service levels.
Additionally,tait enablefleet.device management solution allowed automation of the transition from analogue to the new digital mobile radio platform. By automating the process of converting between the legacy device profiles to the new platform, and simultaneously generating a centralised management database for the devices, installation time was less than 20 minutes per vehicle. With a vehicle rollout rate peaking at 500 vehicles a month, it meant 9000 vehicles were able to be rolled out within six months.
The Tait Communications system agreement supplied in this case also gives customers access to the extensive range of KPI reporting, monitoring and management services Tait has available from its global service management centre, and on-site field services and service delivery management provided by the Tait UK based services team which is on duty year-around, 24 hours a day.
