OTN Systems

OTN Systems is dedicated to building superior networks for the industry. Always was, always will be. Its roots go back to the mid eighties, when the team started with the development of an innovative networking technology matching the needs of the Siemens industrial divisions. The combination of technological leadership, the "let's-do-it" attitude and in-depth segment know-how has led to stunning results.

The team, nowadays OTN Systems, has gained market leadership in specific industrial segments including metros, lightrails, oil & gas and mining. With its new product line XTran, the company is ready to take the next step, ready to become the most dominant player across all industries.

Railways

The railway infrastructure in most countries was built over a period of decades. The first railway lines in Europe go back to the middle of the 19th century. A small country like Belgium has in the meantime approximately 3,000 km of tracks in operation connecting more than 500 stations.

Needless to say that the communication needs of a modern railway organization are vast. The networks needs to connect the stations, the control centers, trackside equipment, manned and unmanned stations, signal boxes, traction substations, etc. With the increasing degree of train automation, security measures and passenger services, the network becomes even more critical.

To cater for the needs of railway organizations, OTN Systems launched its XTran product line in 2014. With XTran on board, modern railway operators are ready to face the future.
