KTS Wireless offers products well suited for many railroad applications. And with the government’s PTC (Positive Train Control Act of 2008) legislation necessitating on-board and wayside monitoring and control, KTS Wireless is at the forefront of this initiative. Initial applications include wayside signaling and turnout switches, with other applications such as weather information, GPS Data, timetable, meteorological conditions, and crossing information to follow.
All of the radio equipment will operate in the 220MHz band and will be interoperable with all other rail carriers. With the PTC legislation applying to both passenger and freight traffic, the KTS Wireless ATR (Agility Telemetry Radio) fits the bill perfectly for this application. The ATR’s IP-based technology, coupled with high data rates, long-range operation and excellent propagation make the ATR the radio of choice for PTC-compliant applications.
