RATP chooses Eviden’s embedded TETRA radio services solutions
to equip its metro trains and tramways
InnoTrans, Berlin, Germany and Paris, France – September 24, 2024 – Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security today announces it has won RATP1’s tender to equip its MP14 and new MF19 metro trains and also the TW20 tramways of the Parisian rail company with TETRA radio communication systems between the line’s Centralized Control Station and the various rolling stocks. The contract covers 132 radio equipments, with an option for 800 radio equipments over a maximum period of 8 years.
RATP is a long-standing Eviden partner. The company has already equipped its previous metro fleet with Eviden’s TETRA embedded radio technology. This time, the customer’s biggest challenge is to modernize its transport infrastructure network and extend certain lines with new rolling stock to safely accommodate more passengers. In concrete terms, the solution will play a pivotal role in modernizing RATP’s existing embedded radio systems, ensuring their long-term viability as they increasingly demand greater computing power for voice/data and safety/security services, while requiring minimal onboard space.
This project marks one of RATP’s final uses of this technology as the organization prepares for a significant technological overhaul of its metro fleet starting 2035. The MP14 and upcoming MF19 metro trains, as along with the TW20 tramways are being developed by Alstom, another key partner of Eviden.
Valérie Petat, Head of Industrial Systems and Services, Mission Critical Systems, at Eviden, Atos Group said “This new collaboration further underscores RATP’s long-standing trust in Eviden’s technology and expertise in the railway sector. We are confident that this partnership will strengthen our position as a preferred partner for RATP’s future major projects.”
The Eviden solution chosen by RATP includes the following range of embedded radio voice-data services:
– the MAV (Audio-Visual Means) system for automatic metro lines.
– the Radio driver Metro service for manual lines.
– the TETRA (TErrestrial Trunk Radio) Tramway service.
