Vienna, 9 July 2026 –Kontron Transportation is modernizing the existing
railway communications core network on behalf of Infraestruturas de
Portugal, the Portuguese Railways.

The award represents an important milestone for Kontron Transportation in
Portugal and reinforces the company’s ability to deliver future-ready,
mission-critical railway communication solutions in a highly competitive
market. Kontron will become the new supplier of radio communication
infrastructure, representing an important building block in supporting the
continued evolution toward FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication
System).

The project scope includes the supply, installation, configuration,
testing, commissioning and migration of the Kontron solution, along with
training, documentation, maintenance and operational support. To ensure a
smooth and efficient transition, the new system will be integrated with
the existing infrastructure and applications.

With this contract award, Kontron Transportation further strengthens its
position in the Portuguese railway market and expands its role in the
modernization of railway communication networks. The project also creates
new opportunities to showcase Kontron’s broader portfolio in the access
domain and to support customers on their path toward next-generation
communication technologies.

“We are proud to support the modernization of the Portuguese railway
communication infrastructure. This project underlines our commitment to
delivering reliable and future-ready communication systems for
mission-critical railway operations”, says Richard Neussl, Managing
Director Kontron Transportation.
