Strengthening commitment to the Spanish market Vienna, Austria, April 15, 2025 - Kontron Transportation Spain, a company of the Kontron Group, has been selected by Adif (Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias) to implement GSM-R (Global System for Mobile Communication-Railways) coverage in the Medina del Campo - Orense conventional line.

The 338 km long Medina del Campo - Orense conventional line is providing medium-distance passenger services and freight traffic. Adif, the public entity responsible for managing and maintaining Spain's railway network - one of the largest in Europe - plays a crucial role in its development and modernization. This project reinforces the commitment of Adif and Kontron Transportation to enhancing railway infrastructure, delivering high-quality services, and strengthening their collaboration. The main benefits of this project are enhanced railway services, increased safety and a positive environmental impact. Enhanced railway services : The infrastructure will be modernized and optimized, contributing to the improvement of the railway service and will increase the frequency of commercial traffic. Increased safety : The GSM-R technology is of crucial importance for increasing safety in railway operations, as it enables clear and fast communication in critical situations. Environmental benefits : By optimizing train operations and reducing delays, the GSM-R system will contribute to a more efficient use of energy, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint. More efficient train operations are in line with Adif´s sustainability goals, such as achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9. "We are committed to delivering excellence in railway communication solutions and look forward to the successful execution of this project in collaboration with Adif, reinforcing our dedication to the Spanish Market", Richard Neussl, MD Kontron Transportation.
