Valued at over 20 million EUR, the project encompasses both deployment and a four-year maintenance period. It is among the largest recently awarded projects for GSM-R deployment by ADIF. The 338 km long Medina del Campo – Orense conventional line is providing medium-distance passenger services and freight traffic.

ADIF, the public entity responsible for managing and maintaining Spain’s railway network — one of the largest in Europe — plays a crucial role in its development and modernization. This project reinforces the commitment of ADIF and Kontron Transportation to enhancing railway infrastructure, delivering high-quality services, and strengthening their collaboration.

The main benefits of this project are enhanced railway services, increased safety and a positive environmental impact.

Enhanced railway services:

The infrastructure will be modernized and optimized, contributing to the improvement of the railway service and will increase the frequency of commercial traffic.

Increased safety:

The GSM-R technology is of crucial importance for increasing safety in railway operations, as it enables clear and fast communication in critical situations.

Environmental benefits:

By optimizing train operations and reducing delays, the GSM-R system will contribute to a more efficient use of energy, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. More efficient train operations are in line with ADIF’s sustainability goals, such as achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9.
