Radio coverage and control centers for motorway concessionaires.

We design, install, and maintain in-tunnel radio coverage, cellular and RF monitoring systems, control rooms, and radiating-cable integrity systems for Italy’s leading motorway concessionaires.

In brief

For over twenty years, Teleproject has been the trusted partner of Italy’s leading motorway concessionaires for the design, build, and technical support of mission-critical radio communication systems. We have equipped over 500 km of motorway routes and more than 100 tunnels with turnkey solutions that combine in-house product development, field experience, and the ability to respond within 24 h.

For every route we take an integrated approach — from RF coverage studies and in-tunnel DAS systems to FM and DAB+ broadcasting with emergency break-in and continuous radiating-cable continuity monitoring using the patented TP-CCV2 system. Operational management runs on the Respondr platform, already in operation across five Autostrade per l‘Italia regional divisions and the CNEV.

We operate as a turnkey provider, holding SOA OS 19 Cat. II for public tender eligibility and ISO 9001:2015 applied across all projects.

The challenges

The typical challenges of the sector.

What makes radio communication projects complex in the highways and tunnels sector.

  • In-tunnel radio coverage

    Ensuring continuous radio signal for operational services, the highway police, and emergency services along deep tunnel routes — even under heavy traffic and tight maintenance windows.

  • Radiating-cable integrity

    Detecting in real time short circuits from fire or open lines from faulty connectors before they cause coverage loss in the most critical sections.

  • Emergency FM/DAB break-in

    Sending alert messages directly to vehicle radios in transit without additional apps, interrupting the current broadcast.

  • Night-window maintenance

    Carrying out installation and maintenance in restricted time windows, coordinating with the operator and maintaining route operability.

Our approach

Our approach.

The technical capabilities and proprietary products we bring to this sector.

  • RF coverage study

    Propagation models, link budgets, and DAS dimensioning for tunnel environments — technical documentation suitable for use in tender submissions.

  • Multiband radiating cable

    Installation of TETRA, DMR, VHF/UHF, and cellular radiating cable on a single line, with experience across more than 100 equipped tunnels.

  • Active and passive DAS

    DAS systems dimensioned to tunnel geometry — passive for short routes, active with RF over fiber for long tunnels and complex junctions.

  • TP-CCV2 — continuity monitoring

    Patented Teleproject system for real-time monitoring of short circuits and open lines on tunnel radiating cables.

  • TP-CELLX — cellular monitoring

    Continuous detection of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G (DSS / NR) cellular coverage to ensure 112/118 reachability even in the deepest sections.

  • Respondr — control center

    IP-based dispatching platform for motorway control rooms, integrating TETRA, DMR, and VHF/UHF networks already in service across five ASPI regional divisions.

Use cases

Recurring use cases.

The concrete problems we solve most often for customers in this sector.

  • In-tunnel radio coverage

    Radiating cable, active or passive DAS, and dedicated amplifiers to ensure continuity of operational and public-safety radio networks.

  • Motorway control room

    Multi-division dispatching center integrating highway police, 118, and fire brigade radio networks, based on Respondr.

  • Cellular monitoring in critical sections

    Continuous monitoring of cellular signal in tunnels via TP-CELLX, with real-time notifications via email, SNMP, WhatsApp, and Telegram.

  • Emergency FM/DAB break-in

    Broadcasting alert messages directly to vehicle radios in transit via TP-DAB, integrated with the tunnel SCADA system.
