    Brief

    Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) operates a national GSM-R mobile network that enables driver-to-signaling communications on its rail fleet. Currently active on the DART network with plans for nationwide expansion by 2026, the network requires ongoing monitoring and testing. Irish Rail seeks an automated drive-testing and RF (radio frequency) monitoring solution to eliminate the need for staff to travel onboard trains with manual monitoring equipment. The solution should include a GSM-R modem and compatible hardware, along with software and firmware capable of interfacing with the modem to provide Irish Rail with a HTTP REST API. This API will integrate with Irish Rail's existing infrastructure, which includes NodeJS applications, InfluxDB databases, and Grafana dashboards for data recording and visualization. Alternatively, suppliers may propose a cloud-based hosting solution that is securely accessible to Irish Rail. Detailed specifications and requirements will be provided to pre-qualified companies during the formal invitation to tender stage.
