Hong Kong MTR West Railway Telecommunications Radio Network

---

Our consultants played a key role in delivering mission-critical radio communications for the Hong Kong MTR West Rail Line—a 30 km heavy rail corridor comprising nine stations, tunnels, viaducts, and more than 100 ancillary buildings. Providing Oversight & Governance, Network Design, and Systems Integration services to deliver uninterrupted, high-availability communications infrastructure that was essential to safe and reliable rail operations.

Engaged by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), our consultants designed and supported the implementation of a TETRA trunked radio system providing seamless, end-to-end coverage along the entire corridor ensuring full interoperability with existing MTR, KCRC, and Light Rail networks.

To meet KCRC’s stringent performance and availability requirements, our consultants designed a cost-effective hybrid communications architecture, integrating a fibre-optic backbone transmission system with cascaded bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems. Our consultants undertook detailed technical analysis to optimise performance across the Stations, underground tunnels, and in-building environments.

The resulting communications platform underpins real-time coordination between train operations, control centres, maintenance teams, and emergency responders. It has strengthened operational resilience, improved incident response, and enhanced passenger safety—demonstrating our ability to deliver assured, high-impact communications solutions for complex, safety-critical rail networks.
