Railway communications specialist 81 Kapsch CarrierCom has been awarded the tender for two more Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway (GSM-R) projects in the Czech Republic. The company will install its state-of-the-art technology on the 200 kilometre Kolín – Havlíčkův Brod – Křižanov – Brno and the 110 kilometre Prague – Beroun – Králův Dvůr, Prague – Benešov and the Prague – Lysá nad Labem line over the next two years.
