Motorola Solutions won a contract to provide a Tetra two-way radio communications network for Malaysia’s first Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line. Motorola Solutions will supply, design and install the complete, digital two-way radio communications network for the new MRT line, including more than 500 Tetra radio devices and base stations. Motorola is a technology partner to the APLG consortium for this project.

The landmark rail modernisation project will bring significant benefits to Malaysia, including greatly improved transport services while reducing traffic congestion in the Greater Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.

The 51kilometre SBK line comprises 31 stations including seven underground stations. It's part of an integrated mobility project that will provide seamless urban transportation for 1.2 million residents in the Greater Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley region.

Public rail transportation represents a key part of Malaysia’s economic development programme in the Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley area with two additional MRT lines proposed under the Klang Valley MRT project. Line 2 is expected to be completed by 2022.
