During the Railtech \u201926 networking dinner, its sofware-defined ETCS system won the Innovation Award by unanimous decision of the jury, reinforced by the public vote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would like to thank the Jury, UNIFE director General Enno Wiebe, Karel van Gils, senior programme manager at Europe\u2019s Rail Joint Undertaking, and RailTech.com Chief Editor Nikos Papatolios,&#8221; said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are also grateful to the audience, who also made our ETCS solution based on software their best innovation in the rail industry this year. Our entire team warmly thanks everyone who voted for us online in February. These votes helped us become a finalist and ultimately carried us to that special moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Having ETCS hardware onboard trains that can be updated throughout its lifetime can significantly reduce deployment costs, which are currently lagging even further behind on trains than on trackside systems. Over the past four years, the cost of onboard ETCS has doubled \u2014 a development that clearly goes in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s actually quite emotional, the team put their life into this\u201d, said Jarlath Lally, head of Sales, Marketing and Product Management, when taking the stage to accept the award on behalf of our team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last year at Trako, The Signalling Company proudly announced the certification of our on-board ETCS safety system, as well as its adoption by \u0160koda Group for all its new single-deck train platform and retrofit projects. This award is a direct consequence of that unique achievement. We would like to thank \u0160koda Group for their support and our first-ever investor and client Lineas for their trust in our vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This recognition reflects the efforts of the wider team, this award belongs to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Image credit: The Signallling Company<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/railuk.com\/company-news\/the-signalling-companys-etcs-wins-railtech-innovation-award\/\" title=\"The Signalling Company\u2019s ETCS wins Railtech Innovation Award\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.railuk.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13110900\/SIGNALLING-COMPANY-485x360.jpg\" class=\"webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/a>The Signalling Company has announced that it has won the RailTech Europe Innovation Award.
