Expandium

QATS GSM-R and QATS ETCS BY EXPANDIUM, SOLUTIONS FOR SAFETY, SERVING RAIL OPERATORS

Because safety is a vital concern for all players in the rail industry, Expandium has designed QATS, a highly efficient real-time troubleshooting solution, enabling technical staff to detect network malfunctions early and correct them and providing railway managers with a whole set of reports to drive their quality’s standards.

Why investing in a railway network monitoring and analysis tool?

Safety and early incidents detections are keys to efficient management of an ERTMS network. During the network rollout phase, QATS can be used to control and validate the quality of GSM-R coverage, the ETCS requirements, the correct routing of calls (Railway Emergency Calls- unique to Expandium, calls to the dispatchers), and interoperability with cross-border networks.

During the operations phase, QATS GSM-R / ETCS gives the rail operator the assurance that its network is being monitored continuously and that all signalling passing through its equipment is exhaustively recorded.

Why choose Expandium?

With the QATS GSM-R / ETCS-dedicated solution, Expandium is the only partner to meet all GSM-R and ETCS operator requirements, since it extends its capabilities to Level 1-2 ETCS transfers, LDA, VGCS (incl. Railway emergency call), etc. The company’s independence from on-board’s equipment and infrastructure vendors ensures that Quality of Service is measured objectively. Many European railways operators are today our customers, recognizing the benefits of the solution within their global architecture.

Caring for its customers

Expandium, with its set of new generation protocol experts, maintains very close working relationships with its customers and ensure flexibility, adaptability and responsiveness.

Expandium will be exhibiting its QATS GSM-R / ETCS solution at the show, feel free to stop by our booth for a personalized demonstration.
