Hanover / Germany, 19/10/2010. The Swiss Federal Railways 
(Schweizerische Bundesbahnen - SBB) have commissioned Hoeft & Wessel 
AG with the development and supply of a new mobile solution for voice
and data communications in the field of shunting and construction 
operations. Within the scope of this contract award, the Almex 
Division of the technology enterprise headquartered in Hanover, 
Germany, is to develop and supply a new system known as "LISA - Light
and Integrated Shunting Accessory". The project under the auspices of
the SBB Infrastructure Division is a key component involved in 
converting the past analogue radio system to GSM-R, the digital radio
system that has been adjusted to meet the requirements of railway 
services. The communications system has a total value of around CHF 
9.9 million (approx. EUR 7.3 million). Development and rollout will 
take roughly 2.5 years to complete.
The SBB shunting and construction workers will be equipped with a 
total of 2,700 mobile terminals. The new communications solution also
comprises the central and decentralised infrastructure for operating 
the devices. An extensive software package from Almex tracks and 
covers the complex business processes in the field of shunting and 
construction operations and will provide SBB with substantial 
optimisation potential.
The LISA system provides SBB with a secure communication system at 
its construction sites and shunting operations based on GSM-R digital
radio. Alternatively, the devices can also be operated in the normal 
GSM mobile telephony network. In addition to communications, a 
special data terminal provides extended functions to enable the 
requirements of dedicated tracks or status queries with the aid of 
centralised systems. By means of separate voice and data 
communications, it is ensured that the operating unit and the data 
terminal can operate at the same time without any disturbances. This 
makes the LISA system the ideal platform for voice and data 
communications in the field of shunting and constuction work.
The devices meet the special requirements of this extremely 
challenging field of activity. They are shock-resistant, 
splash-proof, resistant to chemicals and can even be operated while 
wearing gloves.
The Almex business division of the Hoeft & Wessel Group is one of the
leading providers of ticketing and telematics systems for public 
transport in Europe. With its newly created solution, Almex now also 
offers its railway customers a significantly extended portfolio of 
solutions in the field of logistics.
