The trio will use the facility to exchange technical expertise and experience, approve project implementation roadmaps, develop necessary regulatory and technical documentation, and implement new modular programmes.

Hytera Kazakhstan country manager Ivan Wang said: “The competence centre will act as a key driver to accelerate the digitalisation of KTZ and we are proud to be a part of it.”

Hytera overseas solutions department director Song Xiaolei said the firm’s Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) service will involve the formation of a convergent network of carriers’ 4G/5G networks and KTZ’s existing TETRA system under the framework of the new agreement.

The convergent solution will provide future-proof and unified rail dispatch and communication services, signal and control data transmissions, secure redundancy, as well as explore the next-generation railway communication.
