Viatel continues to strengthen its activity in the field of railways in Portugal, having received the contract of the public company Infraestruturas de Portugal for constructing infrastructures for the QSM-Railway, that is, mobile radio communications between trains, stations and control centres, in the Minho Lines (Nine-Valença) and Beira Baixa (Entroncamento-Castelo Branco).

These two projects involve the construction of 34 towers, with their point-to-point transmission in optical fibre, as well as the Low Voltage component, within an execution time line of 421 days.

Also in this context, Viatel will be present in the activities not only of the GSM-Railway and physical transmission support, but also of air conditioning and electrification of containers and technical rooms, on the Beira Alta line (Mangualde-Celorico da Beira).

These awards complement the work already underway in the construction of infrastructures for the GSM-Railway, for other consortia, on the western lines (Mira-Sintra - Torres Vedras) and Sines line.
