Analogue train-radio communication system 

 

As a part of our research and development, together with our partners we have developed a train-radio communication system based on the requirements and specifications of our customer - Metropolitan EAD Sofia. The system is currently in use in Metro Diameter I and Metro Diameter II of the Sofia underground. This system
