Drive testing support

Our knowledgeable team is built to help customers validate propagation, PTC signals, and message capabilities at all track points. We regularly handle everything from propagation, drive testing, and message availability by track point to the complexities of PTC-on-PTC interference identification.

Radio network planning

When our customers need to plan PTC setup and operation, including the selection of base station locations, wayside radio propagation, track-point-to-message mapping, and message time slot planning, they call us. Our adept service providers assist with model propagation using the comprehensive ITCnet® Planning Module (IPM).

Network management services

With the use of Meteorcomm’s ARM/Discovery Monitoring Tools, we have the ability to detect and pinpoint radio connection and signal flow issues within the PTC220 radio network. Relying on our intelligent technology, our team can then alert and collaborate with participating railroads to resolve issues.

Site survey support

Customers select sites for wayside and base station radios based on their logistic requirements. And we support our customers by using our unique industry expertise to identify site-specific resources and sensitivities that may affect successful PTC operations.

Non-PTC interference research

With the use of Meteorcomm’s ARM/Discovery Monitoring Tools, we have the ability to detect and pinpoint radio connection and signal flow issues within the PTC220 radio network. Relying on our intelligent technology, our team can then alert and collaborate with participating railroads to resolve issues.
