PSI subsidiary inControl Tech awarded communication project for Malaysian Railways

Berlin, Kuala Lumpur, 30 April 2010 – PSI subsidiary inControl Tech has been awarded the contract to supply the communication package on a turnkey basis for works related to the Double-Track Railway Project between Seremban and Gemas. This project is part of a major initiative by the Malaysian government to upgrade the railway infrastructure in order to offer a safe, more reliable and efficient mode of transportation.

inControl Tech was selected through a vigorous tendering process by the Indian Railway Construction Company (IRCON), who is the main contractor for the approximately 100 km of double-track railway involving civil, track laying and the building of six new passenger train stations. The project is to be implemented in two phases over a period of 20 months. The scope of supply for the project covers subsystems such as digital transmission systems, PABX, signal post telephones, real-time passenger information, public address, CCTV surveillance and station SCADA.

inControl Tech will supply a digitally advanced and integrated solution for all of the above-mentioned subsystems, which will be operated and controlled using the PSItraffic software suite in the centralised train control (CTC) system. This contract will mark the major entry of the PSI Group into the railways market in Asia.

PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions, on the basis of its own software products, for the management of energy networks (electricity, gas, oil, heat, water), cross-company production management (metals, automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, mining, logistics) and infrastructure management for telecommunications, transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,400 persons in the group.
