Digital infrastructure specialist Telent will provide telecommunication services for the Cambridge re-signalling project in the UK.

At the start of this year, Telent’s customer Alstom received a contract for the replacement of a 40-year-old signalling system that spans 125 route miles in the Cambridge area.

Telent, which was chosen as Alstom’s telecoms partner, will be responsible for surveying, designing, installing and commissioning the new telecommunications components.

Its selection comes after its experience of working with Alstom to install its Smart Lock solution on the Paddington to Reading (P2R) project.
