This will help prevent train accidents and reduce delays
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the allotment of 5Mhz spectrum in the premium 700 MHz band to the railways for captive use in areas of public safety and security services.
With this spectrum, the railways will introduce LTE-based Mobile Train Radio Communication (MTRC) on its routes. This will help prevent train accidents and reduce delays by enabling real-time interaction between the Loco Pilot, Station Master and the Control Centre. The project, targeted to be completed in five years, is estimated to cost over ₹ 25,000 crore.
