Background
Network Rail - a leading supplier to the UK rail industry - came to Microsec to partner their development of a next generation GSM-R radio training simulator.
Challenge
Using the hardware specifications of the physical radio as a model, coupled with briefing and training from the Network Rail training team, Microsec produced a modern, intuitive training system with the following features:
- UWP application running on Surface Pro tablets
- Up to 6 trainees and one trainer connected to each other via wifi
- Standalone operation - no need for customer infrastructure
- Dedicated wifi network
- Faithful represenation of the GSM-R radio behaviour including screen display, sounds, two-way voice communication between participants, PTT communication, emergency procedure behaviour, and messaging
- A lightweight system, packing down into a single case for easy transport by a single person
Microsec very quickly mastered the technical landscape of our systems and successfully migrated these to a hosted service, with no service interruption to our national network of clients and mobile field workers.
