As the technology partner to main contractor Hitachi Rail, the company supplied network infrastructure, equipped 17 trains, and provided portable and fixed terminals for staff. The control centre now operates with six advanced workstations for real-time communication.

Integration improves Ho Chi Minh City metro efficiency

The TETRA solution links with Public Address, intercom, and Train Control & Management System (TCMS). This integration improves incident response and keeps services on schedule. It also ensures clear communication across all operational areas.

Felipe Sanjuan, Transport Business Development Director at Teltronic, highlighted the project’s importance. He said that delivering this system shows the company’s commitment to safer and more efficient urban transit in Southeast Asia.

The new system marks a milestone in Vietnam’s transport modernisation. Reliable communications help manage daily challenges, improve punctuality, and protect passenger safety. This project strengthens Teltronic’s position in Asia’s fast-growing mass transit market.

Passengers can now enjoy smoother journeys, and operators have advanced tools for monitoring and coordination. The collaboration between Teltronic, Hitachi Rail, and local authorities demonstrates how technology can transform public transport in rapidly expanding cities.
