China’s high speed Shijiazhuang-to-Taiyuan railway (the Shi-Tai line) will include a wireless network for all passengers to use. The coverage will be provided by Andrew, the CommScope, Inc. division that is a global leader in wireless communication systems and products.

Andrew will supply its Radiax radiating cables to support wireless services for passengers as they travel through the railway’s tunnels enjoying phone, text messaging, and other services.

Andrew’s coverage and capacity solution will also
support a GSM-R network to enable fully
inter-operable communications among railway
employees and emergency personnel.

Andrew’s RADIAX cables are manufactured entirely in the company’s Suzhou, China plant, where outdoor and indoor cable test lines that simulate tunnel conditions are located.
