We welcome any feedback from you so please e-mail us. Your Attention Please The muffled sounds of rail platform announcements can be some of the most irritating and distracting noises around, especially when one is straining to hear important information. Now QinetiQ has the solution as it launches NXT's acoustic panel speaker technology for rail and subway networks. The technology, which uses existing platform fixtures and fittings to produce high quality sound reproduction for rail and subway public address systems, is currently being trailed on a number of rail and subway networks.

Operating from a small fixed-wing aircraft flying at around 30,000 feet and able to carry multiple feeds, Skylink has already been deployed at a range of high profile international sporting events, including the London Marathon, the World Rally Championship (WRC) and cycling's Tour de Suisse and Zurich Grand Prix.
