Comba Telecom nabs wireless solution contract with Bangkok Metro Railway


The Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited (BMCL) has tapped Comba Telecom to provide an end-to-end wireless solution for 2G and 3G voice and data communications. Comba's wireless solution will provide coverage for the entire length of the BMCL's underground railway network.

Comba Telecom is known for its multi-operator base station coverage solutions, which cover single and multiple bands. Comba solutions are designed to be rapidly rolled out and ensure high performance while keeping visual perception low.

The Company also offers a versatile ultra-wide band multiple ports solution that allow different systems and different frequency bands to share antenna systems.

The BMCL's Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT) in Bangkok is comprised of 18 stations, concourses, tunnels, platforms, and the concourses' retail stores. It serves more than 240,000 passengers on a daily basis.

BMCL has complete control of all commercial activities and developments on its premises. The Thai company owns and operates its own neutral host network, which it pledged in support of updated wireless telecommunications services.

Comba Telecom will modernize and expand BMCL's legacy 2G system into a multi-system (2G/3G) active distributed antenna system (DAS) solution.

Eric Ng, general manager of Southeast Asia for Comba Telecom, explained that the Company implemented a modular DAS solution for the Bangkok MRT. The scalable system is easily expandable and future proof, allowing BMCL to open up new subway lines or implement 4G technologies according to its future requirements.
