Tait Communications extends long-term contract with Transport for London
London (PRWEB UK) 18 May 2015 -- TfL’s bus network, one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive urban transport systems, uses Tait’s TaitNet MPT trunked solution to help transport millions of passengers per day across the UK’s busy capital.
The extended contract will see Tait provide continued service and maintenance of the network in partnership with prime contractor Trapeze Switzerland and UK-based network support provider Magdalene.
The new contract extension will allow TfL to extend the life of their ‘iBus’ radio system to ensure maximum return on investment in their wider network.
Hans van der Linde, Regional General Manager of Tait Europe, said that Tait’s ability to deliver cutting edge solutions and 24/7 support to customers helps secure ongoing projects with customers such as TfL.
“The contract with TfL is a great example of Tait’s ability to provide value to its customers through strong, long-term partnerships. Working closely with Trapeze and Magdalene has allowed us to continue to provide services tailored to our customers’ needs.”
As part of the original contract with TfL, signed in 2005, the TaitNet system was customised to integrate the Trapeze ITS dispatch equipment and TM8200 mobiles with the ‘iBus’ on-board bus computer, ensuring optimal voice communications between dispatchers and bus drivers.
