Station Communications

Optilan designs, supplies, installs and commissions fully integrated ‘turnkey’ telecommunications and security systems for mainline, light rail and LUL applications.

Working across a number of industry sectors, the company is able to bring to its work on rail industry applications knowledge and experience gained across a spectrum of safety- critical industrial and commercial environments. The result is a rich blend of innovation and ‘best practice’, giving Optilan a unique perspective to project objectives and issues.

A Station Communications System will typically comprise all or some of the following sub-systems:

• CCTV
• Public Address
• Customer/Passenger Information Systems
• Help Points
• Telephones
• Radio
• Local Area Networks
• Clock Systems
• Access Control

At Optilan we are able to undertake upgrades at existing stations or provide a complete turnkey comms system for greenfield sites.

Optilan Project Teams are fully experienced in rail industry systems requirements, working in full compliancy with Network Rail, LUL and associated standards, and using Primavera where required.

Optilan is exceptional in possessing in-house the full range of skills and resources to provide a fully integrated service from transmission systems architecture to network cabling installation and JTT, together with associated Civil Works Management where required.

All Site Engineers are appropriately PTS/COSS/SPC qualified, and are used to operating in accordance with rail industry procedures, in close proximity to the public, and in safety critical environments.
