Cannon Technologies ’on track’ with new railway partnership

Aug. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Cannon Technologies (http://www.cannontech.co.uk/) has been accepted into the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme - the supplier pre-qualification service used by buyers of products and services throughout the UK rail industry.

The scheme is designed to help recognised suppliers sell to the UK’s complex rail industry in a fair and transparent manner. The railway system’s network of resources relies heavily on a strong infrastructure of integrated and protected communications, customer information and data network systems.

With around 20,000 miles of track and 24,000 daily services, the UK rail network boasts the fastest rate of growth anywhere in Europe. Nearly 20 per cent of European rail journeys are taken in the UK and passenger growth is now outstripping population and employment growth. This rapid expansion and high level of investment means that the rail industry relies heavily on its suppliers to provide a wide range of critical products and systems, such as top of the range passive and active electronic cabinets.

Rail industry suppliers have a long held reputation for delivering innovative, state-of-the-art products and demonstrating the skills and expertise necessary to help develop new rail systems and upgrade existing infrastructure. This latest accreditation pays testament to Cannon Technologies’ (http://www.cannontech.co.uk/Trackside.html) reputation as a company which can be relied upon to deliver the world’s best environments for sensitive electronic hardware packaging.

Cannon Technologies’ business development director Glenn Conlon feels the approval and opportunity to supply the railway industry says a lot about the company. He commented, ‘This really is great news for Cannon Technologies. It reinforces our global reputation for delivering reliable robust solutions for a variety of industries. Cannon already has a proven track record within banking, military and government agencies. The ability to provide secure, strong transportable modular buildings as well as indoor and outdoor 19 inch racks, cabinets and enclosures to the railway industry indicates a growing acknowledgement of the build and quality of our innovative products.

‘The rail network requires complex communication systems which provide local and regional networks that control security CCTV, customer info systems, Wi-Fi, operational and monitoring systems. These systems require reliable, secure and proven products to house the sensitive electronic equipment and we can offer all these options with secure access and remote monitoring and control facilities. Cannon Technologies are delighted to consolidate and progress in their position as a world leader in communications/data system integration and packaging.’
