CASE STUDY

FINCH WEST LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT (FWLRT)

Safety at Every Stop

Greater Toronto Area | Industry: Transit

Linkwave deployed Public Safety DAS (Distributed Antenna System) for the Finch West Light Rail Transit (FWLRT) project in Toronto. To ensure uninterrupted communication for the City's first responders, we engineered a high-performance Hybrid Fiber/Coax architecture. This solution provides comprehensive indoor and outdoor coverage across the line's critical infrastructure, ensuring that Toronto Police, Fire, and EMS maintain crystal-clear radio contact in environments where standard signals often fail.

Our mission-critical deployment meets the rigorous standards of Toronto's emergency services, providing the reliable wireless backbone necessary for passenger safety and operational excellence.
