The specific project will significantly improve the quality of services provided to the capital’s commuters, facilitating communications and passengers’ access to the digital world during travel.

The purpose of the pilot project is to ensure continuous and uninterrupted signal coverage in the specific section of Line 2, including the five stations and the tunnels between them and to select, based on the relevant measurements and analyzes of the systems, the optimal implementation solution for all the remaining Attica metro stations on lines 2 & 3, the which will follow.

The Alimos station will act as a central interconnection hub (HUB) for the entire pilot project with the backhauling networks of the three mobile telephony companies, exclusively new generation fiber optics. The indoor coverage of the station will be done through the installation of three indoor coverage systems, in order to evaluate the optimal technology, which will be selected for the coverage of the remaining stations, based on the measurements and the results of the analyzes that will be carried out in Alimos.

Intrakat is expected to complete the pilot project within of the first half of 2023.
