GAI-Tronics designs and manufactures weather and vandal-resistant telephones for stations, platforms, level crossings and tracksides worldwide.
Withstanding unforgiving extremes of temperature, moisture, contamination, sunshine, wind, dust and salt, GAI-Tronics equipment is ideal for rail environments.
All our rail telephones and information points are weather-resistant up to IP65 and include features specific to their intended environment.
For public-access areas, our products have standard disability-friendly features including large, palm-operable buttons; induction loops for those with impaired hearing; and audio-visual ring indication. Raised text legends with Braille can be added for sight-impaired users.
Connectivity options include wireless, voice over IP and GSM-R.
Personal security is a growing issue and help points are becoming increasingly necessary for railway stations and remote locations, where access to emergency or information lines provides added protection for the public.
GAI-Tronics help-point technology is commonly found at rail stations and platforms.
Our hands-free telephones allow the public to press a button to connect to an information centre or for emergency assistance.
In addition to voice capability, we can include data transmission, cameras, and call-centre software, enabling interactive communications between user and control centre.
GAI-Tronics offers GSM connectivity option. This GSM version accepts any standard SIM card and has anintegrated on-body antenna, which gives you a completely stand alone telephone.
GAI-Tronics telephones are a familiar sight next to level crossings, where access to the signal box is crucial.
The telephones are either no-button or one-button models. When the user picks up the handset (and presses the button if available) a pre-programmed number will be dialled to connect the user to the signal box. The button can be illuminated to allow better visibility in remote areas or dark conditions.
Trackside telephones are usually used for driver-to-signalman communications in the case of a breakdown, incident or train-comms failure. The trackside telephones have handsets and usually have only one button to press, which dials a pre-programmed number.
The strong magnet-closing doors ensure the door doesn’t open accidentally as a train passes.
Network Rail approvals have been achieved for GAI-Tronics rail telephones. All products meet stringent safety specifications and are approved and certified by leading international regulatory bodies / PTT authorities.
GAI-Tronics is an ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS 18001-certified manufacturer, operating at the highest levels of product quality, health and safety, and customer service.
