SYSTRA secures major project with Sydney Trains
Sydney Trains and SYSTRA will partner to support the development of the business case and integration plan for the NextGen Digital Train Radio System (DTRS).

This partnership will address equipment obsolescence and support a shared longer-term vision.
The program will upgrade the DTRS to enable reliable communication between trains and operational systems, helping guide the transition from the current GSM-R platform towards the next generation standard – the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). The DTRS is a core communications capability for train operations across the Sydney Trains network and is an enabler for future applications that will deliver improved reliability and performance.
"We are excited to be working alongside Sydney Trains on this program. We’re committed to working as one team to deliver a smooth, standards aligned transition, drawing on our local and global capabilities in systems integration, telecommunications and asset management."
Tom Warner, Executive General Manager Systems, SYSTRA Australia & New Zealand
This program is important for the future of our network. Upgrading our train radio capability will support more reliable communications for operations and the safety of users and our teams.
Andrew Constantinou, Program Director – Digital Train Radio System, Sydney Trains
As part of the partnership, SYSTRA will provide advisory and integration planning to support investment decisions and staged delivery, drawing on prior work with the rail sector and experience across telecommunications, signalling, and systems integration.
