Heathrow Express has awarded ADComms, the telecommunication solutions provider, the contract to install GSM-R coverage across Heathrow Airport’s rail tunnel infrastructure.
The awarded project will allow GSM-R coverage to be extended from the Great Western Main Line into Heathrow’s tunnels from the tunnel portal to the central terminal area and into terminals 4 and 5. Once complete, the project will provide one of the first functioning European Train Control System (ETCS) level 2 compliant systems in the UK. The installation is essential for the introduction of Crossrail services through to Heathrow Airport. The GSM-R Heathrow Express coverage is scheduled for completion in July 2016.
