RailComm provides yard control system

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

RailComm has provided its yard control system to a yard in Geismar, La. The yard is now able to wirelessly control 26 switches using RailComm's Domain Operations Controller (DOC) system, RailComm's RADiANT data radios, universal switch machine controllers and two hardened, outdoor rated PCs.

The DOC software-based control system is an advanced command, control, communications and information (C3i) server-based platform that supports a wide variety of integrated solutions for indication, control, access and distribution of critical operational data across the corporate enterprise. Radios will be used to establish a wireless communications network linking each automated switch machine back to RailComm’s DOC System.

RailComm’s 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum RADiANT data radios will be used to establish a wireless communications network linking each automated switch machine back to RailComm’s DOC System.
