According to the company, the core benefit of the solution is its decentralised architecture, which “ensures that there is no dependency on central switching equipment for section-wise commissioning, and operation of the radio system.” The solution will operate across 37 stations, two depots, as well as onboard 23 three-car trains.
Speaking of the project, regional director at DAMM Carsten Laursen said: “Nagpur Metro is a really exciting project for us. With the work provided by [regional TETRA system integrator] Consort Digital, we have also demonstrated the strength of our system’s partner network, which is core to our business.

“Because the DAMM TetraFlex solution is based on an open ETSI standard, Maha Metro Rail Corporation is free to choose the devices that best suit its needs rather than being limited to particular brands and models. Through DAMM’s flexible ‘application programming interface’ it is easy to integrate to other telecom systems such as telephony, external radio network and central voice recording systems."
Phase one of the $1.18 billion Nagpur Metro rapid transit system takes in the so-called ‘north-south’ and ‘east-west’ corridors, totalling 37 kilometres. The first section - covering 13.5 kilometres, from Khapri to Sitabuldi stations - is already operational.
