  • Prism keeps the train rolling!

Prism Electronics’ receives rail signalling pcb assembly order to support South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup infrastructure.

Helping to form part of the infrastructure in support of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Prism Electronics has won an order from ERB to supply pcb assemblies for rail signalling equipment for the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link project – one of the largest rail engineering projects of its kind in the world.
Prism was selected to supply pcbs for the project because it is already a trusted supplier in the rail signalling sector.
“It’s pleasing to see our trusted business relationships with customers paying dividends,” stated Prism’s business development director, David Dickin. “Word of mouth is perhaps the most effective form of advertising and we are delighted to be working with ERB to help deliver this project.”
The tested PCB assemblies are essential to the ‘brains’ of the Gautrain rail control signalling equipment. The equipment comprises receivers, incorporating Prism assemblies, and transmitters fitted to rail track and to rolling stock.
