GE Transportation Systems chooses Summation Research for high-power
LMR Data Compatible Radios
Melbourne, Fla, October 16, 2004 - Summation Research, Inc.,
a provider of advanced equipment for data communications, wireless,
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), satellite and
terrestrial telemetry, and test equipment markets, today announced
the extension of a multi-year agreement to supply VHF and UHF
data compatible radios to GE Transportation Systems for their “Locotrol” locomotive
control systems. This extension continues the successful relationship
established in 2000 and includes data radios deployed for rail
systems worldwide.
The radios are designed for applications requiring extremely
ruggedized packaging to provide transmission of data in licensed
VHF and UHF frequency bands. The units feature high power transmit
capability for applications requiring extended operating ranges
and high reliability. The radio is available for both domestic
and most international uses.
Having already supplied in excess of 5000 units to GE, the contract
extension incorporates a next generation design of the radios,
thus assuring product continuity through the end of the decade. “Summation
Research is proud to prolong our vendor relationship with GE
Transportation Systems”, said Tom Drago, Vice President
of Business Operations at Summation Research. “This extension
allows us to upgrade the designs to insure the continuation of
what has proven to date to be a mutually beneficial, long standing
business relationship.”
