Tunnel Telephone: A Safe Voice for the Lyon–Turin Base Tunnel 🚇

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

When you’re deep inside a 57 km mountain tunnel, you need clear, dependable communication. That’s why our tunnel telephone was selected to keep this mega-project connected—24/7.

What makes it special:

1. Built for extreme environments – it withstands moisture, dust, and vibration

2. Instant voice clarity – crucial during emergencies or maintenance
