4Tel is a software and hardware engineering firm based in Newcastle, Australia. While we have the industry experience to work in the Defence, emergency services, telecommunications and transport sectors, we have evolved to specialise in rail systems to the extent that we now provide rail technology and services to companies domestically and internationally. Our systems are formally designed to an appropriate safety standard for a given application, and come with rail type-approvals where needed.
Notwithstanding our rail specialisation, our team has the general skills and industry experience to develop command and control systems to improve the safety and efficiency of network operations in other transport and industry sectors. A key point to note is that 4Tel owns all its key technologies and therefore it can modify and customise its software and services to build bespoke solutions for any application within our field of expertise.

The product suite is capable of remotely monitoring and controlling rail operations over large geographical areas, using few staff and at low cost. Our digital railway suite includes:
