VicTrack implements Dali's public safety DAS
A new public safety communications system has been implemented by VicTrack.
Dali Wireless deployed the P25 Phase 1 & 2 public safety DAS, designed for the protective services officers (PSO) working at various Metro Trains Melbourne railway stations.
The new network provides coverage for nine PSO surveillance offices and the surrounding stations using its advanced digital DAS technology.
Tasked with addressing issues with station platform and underpass blackspots, VicTrack was looking for a fibre transmission solution for two-way radio communications that would overcome limitations of the previous ‘wireless-only’ system.
Dali’s advanced digital DAS not only delivered on all the coverage requirements with high-quality communications, it could also be easily expanded to accommodate future requirements, making it a good long-term investment for VicTrack.
“The safety of all passengers is a high priority and that’s why we’re working to support the deployment of protective services officers across metropolitan stations by upgrading their two-way radio technology,” said Bruce Moore, general manager, Telecommunications Group of VicTrack.
“VicTrack will continue to work with government partners and the private telecommunications sector to ensure commuter safety concerns are addressed.”
Working with local partner Maser Group, Dali provided a bespoke solution for Melbourne’s metropolitan protective service officers that combined Dali’s advanced digital DAS technology with an uninterrupted power system and remote network monitoring for high efficiency and availability.
The overall project was a partnership between VicTrack (access, engineering design and project management), Dali and Maser Group (vendor for technical equipment and service integration), Motorola (service provider for MMR network and engineering design) and MTM (project management and subcontractor management).
“This landmark project has provided the Victoria Police with the latest communications technology to help them in safeguarding the public,” said Albert Lee, CEO of Dali Wireless.
