Kontron Transportation, a subsidiary of German tech company Kontron Group, said on Tuesday it had received a 26 million euros (30 million dollars) order from the Czech Republic’s national railway operator, Czech Railways.
In a statement, Kontron said the project was commissioned by the state organisation Správa železnic (SŽ).
The project involved the rail network modernisation on a route stretching from the German border to the Czech cities of Dolní Žleb, Kralupy, and Vltavou.
The contract follows a previous €34 million contract awarded in late 2024 for expanding the GSM-R system in the country.
It provided voice and data services required for daily railway operations.
“Správa železnic has been a highly valued customer for many years, and we are very pleased to be able to contribute to the further modernisation of rail transport in the Czech Republic.’’
