The Mont Cenis Base Tunnel—also called the Mont d’Ambin tunnel—is a 57.5 km long marvel under the Alps, connecting France and Italy. It’s the world’s longest rail tunnel and part of the 65 km cross-border Lyon–Turin railway line.
Why This Tunnel Matters
It carries high-speed trains at 220 km/h and heavy freight trains at 100 km/h
Once built, it will reduce over 1 million truck trips over the Alps yearly
Under construction since 2019, it’s expected to be finished by 2032
Tunnel Telephone System: Chosen for Safety and Reliability

A Day in the Life: Storytime!
Imagine firefighting teams inside the tunnel during a drill. Without a reliable phone, simple coordination can become slow and chaotic. But with our tunnel telephone, each command is heard loud and clear—no mumbling, no guesswork. Maintenance crews can report issues instantly. Engineers feel safe knowing help is just a call away.
Why Tunnel Telephone Makes a Difference
Safety first – open lines during power outages or emergencies
Reliable tools = fast fixes
Peace of mind – tunnel operators trust every call
Think of it as a lifeline inside the mountain.
Final Word
The Mont Cenis Base Tunnel is a record-setting engineering feat. And in a place where thousands of tons of rock and steel meet human hands, our tunnel telephone offers a safe voice. It’s not just equipment—it’s a promise of reliability and safety for everyone down there. And that’s something every student (or engineer!) can appreciate.
