ATDI recently returned from Middle East Rail in Dubai, where we connected with infrastructure operators, regulators, and technology providers from across the region. As rail networks expand and modernise, the industry faces increasing complexity, particularly in managing mission-critical communications that are both reliable and future-proof.
A key topic of discussion was the transition from legacy technologies, such as GSM-R and TETRA, to next-generation platforms, including LTE-R and FRMCS. This shift presents challenges related to interoperability, spectrum coexistence, and the performance of hybrid networks operating across diverse environments—from open countryside to tunnels, bridges, and densely populated urban areas.
At the event, ATDI showcased how our flagship tool, HTZ Communications, enables rail operators to manage the full lifecycle of radio network planning and optimisation. Its versatility allows engineers to work across multiple technologies—DMR, TETRA, P25, LTE-R, FRMCS within a single project, streamlining planning, reducing coverage gaps, and ensuring systems meet both operational and regulatory demands.
