Tunnel Radio of America was formed in 1988

Our first system for rail was installed in 1992 in Flathead Tunnel. This VHF system is still operating today with no failures!

We have systems installed in over 300 tunnels in six countries.

Our clients include class 1 railways

30 tunnels last 12 Mo. 20 are PTC capable
