Mimer SoftRadio for remote control of radios over IP

Mimer by LS Electronics – Enabling Safer Rail Operations Worldwide
LS Electronics is a Swedish technology company with over 30 years of experience in mission-critical communication. Our flagship product, Mimer SoftRadio, is deployed in over 70 countries, helping rail operators unify voice communication across a wide range of radio systems and technologies.

Untangling Communication Along the Tracks: Solving the Multi-Radio Challenge in Rail Operations
Rail networks are intricate ecosystems with demanding communication needs. On any given day, train drivers may be using GSM-R, maintenance teams on analogue VHF/UHF, security on TETRA, and control centres coordinating via IP-based systems or legacy radio infrastructure. Add in contractors, emergency services, and intermodal terminals, and you’re left with a fragmented mix of incompatible communication channels.

This fragmentation creates more than just inefficiencies. It introduces risk. Missed messages, unclear instructions, and delayed coordination can have critical consequences, especially in fast-paced, safety-sensitive rail environments.

Radio over IP (RoIP) is transforming this reality. Our solution, Mimer SoftRadio, digitizes radio traffic into IP streams, enabling multiple radio types and brands to be accessed, monitored, and controlled from a unified interface.

With Mimer, your dispatchers, train controllers, and operations staff can:

  • Communicate across all connected radio networks
  • Monitor multiple channels in real time
  • Remotely control and switch radios, no need for physical access

But it goes beyond radios.

Mimer also integrates with VoIP systems, public address networks, and intercoms. Staff can make announcements, bridge calls into radio groups, or talk directly to mobile units, all from a single screen.

We support more than 60 radio models from trusted manufacturers like Motorola, Sepura, Kenwood, Icom, Jotron and others, making it easy to deploy Mimer in mixed-technology environments without costly overhauls.

For rail operators with robust IT infrastructures, our API allows direct integration with your traffic management or SCADA systems. For others, our ready-to-use SoftRadio GUI provides a clean, intuitive interface with virtual radio panels, customizable layouts, and tools tailored for rail operations.

Whether you’re managing a metro system, regional line, or national network, Mimer brings it all together, improving communication, reducing errors, and enhancing the safety and efficiency of your rail operations.

In rail, timing is everything. And clear communication keeps everything on track.

Mimer SoftRadio Use in the Rail Industry

Rail Transport Company Case Study

Simplified drawing of the setup at Green Cargo

The shunting of trains have always required radio communication. The work is a cooperation between the train driver, the guys on the rail yard and the guys in the tower. As the years have passed more and more special functions have been built into the old analogue systems to make the work easier.

The large rail transport company Green Cargo had come to end of life of their custom built dispatch consoles and needed something new.

Their plan is also to upgrade to DMR in the near future. Therefor a new dispatch system was needed. One that could handle the old analogue with its special functions and also the new digital.

 

System solution

Special layout of keys for Green Cargo

Today each rail yard have 4-5 channels for different tasks. All of them shall be monitored in parallel from the tower and transmission shall be possible on one at a time or on several at the same time. In addition there are functions for signalling of train in reverse, emergency alarm and a log in function on certain channels.

Since Mimer SoftRadios GUI is so flexible, many of the special requests from the old system could be done with standard equipment. To this we also added some extra keys and scripts to get all functions to work and feel very similar to the old console.

The learning curve for the dispatchers is a matter of minutes, since they immediately recognise the functionality.

To give some extra functions they can now select between goose neck microphone or handset, and they can use the same console not only for radio calls, but also for SIP-phone calls.

The old console had a number of multiwire cables connected. The new console has just one TP-cable that goes down to the radio rack. This is possible since also all audio is digitised. It is also possible to connect more than one console to the system, both local and remote.
