Projects Links to provide GSM-R Handheld Devices and Accessories to Saudi Arabia Railways
Established in 2006, Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) is the owner and operator of the North Train Railway Network, and now, the new enabler of Railway industry. SAR carries the vision to build a sustainable passenger and cargo transport. It has been a story of success for the railway industry.
Taking into consideration the networks that have been established in the past decade, and the enormity of these projects which are amongst the largest infrastructure developments in the Kingdom.
SAR trains currently run through three main networks (North - East - Harman) with lengths of more than 5,500 km, through which more than 33 million passengers have been transported. SAR has more than 2000 freight wagons and 157 locomotives are all geared to transport more than (10) million tons annually. SAR managed to transport more than 58 million tons of minerals from 2011 until the end of 2020, which contributed to displacing more than 4.5 million trucks from the roads.
With the goal of building an integrated transportation system, that provides the necessary efficiencies and legislations that enable the railway sector to maximize its potential in transforming the Kingdom into a logistical hub, a resolution of the Council of Ministers has been issued on 2/16/2021, assigning Saudi Railways Company (SAR) to take over the operations and management of the network from the Saudi Railway Organization (SRO), starting April 1, 2021.
In Year 2021, a Blanket Agreement was signed by both Parties (SAR & Projects Links). Right after, Purchase Order was issued to Projects Links to provide GSM-R Handheld Devices and Accessories.
