Case Study: Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit - Advancing Transit Communications with DAS
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is a $6.6B Toronto transit project with 11 km of tunnels and 15 underground stations. To solve critical communication gaps in these complex environments, Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS) partnered with Cartel Communication Systems. Cartel delivered a scalable, multi-band Distributed Antenna System (DAS) that ensures reliable radio coverage for TTC, police, fire, EMS, and public safety agencies. The hybrid DAS supports 24/7 connectivity, meets strict safety standards, and integrates with legacy systems. This case study highlights how Cartel’s turnkey DAS solution enhances transit operations, emergency response, and future-proof infrastructure for large-scale light rail projects.
