ITCnet

 

Meteorcomm’s Interoperable Train Control Network (ITCnet) is a highly reliable and interoperable wireless communications platform that is being used by all Class I railroads, as well as commuter and short line railroads, in support of Positive Train Control (PTC). ITCnet relays mission-critical data between mobile and fixed assets across the U.S. using multiple communication transports (220 MHz radio, IP, cell, satellite, and Wi-Fi) to ensure a high level of reliability.

The ITCnet platform includes a core communications system that consists of a 220 MHz radio network (ITCR), a messaging system for the Back Office and remote devices (ITCM), and a systems management framework (ITCSM). ITCnet software runs on Meteorcomm’s radios that are installed in locomotives, waysides, and base stations.

ITCview is a suite of programs working together to help maintain your PTC network. Our goal is to make communications more reliable than ever before. ITCview is built to leverage the Systems Management Gateway (SMG), and by extension the Asset Registry (AR) and Key Exchange Service (KES). It monitors assets using real-time capture of Interoperable Train Control Systems Management (ITCSM) status and events. ITCview gathers this information regardless of the communication path used in the field. ITCview combines the event and status data feed with static information to provide an up-to-date view into your asset. ITCview also provides a variety of filters to aid drill-down into specific issues. With ITCview, you can understand the current state of your entire deployment.
