What ErvoCom AG does
ErvoCom AG is a privately held Swiss family-owned SME headquartered in Feusisberg, Canton Schwyz, that designs, develops, and manufactures integrated communication and security systems for rail transport, critical communication, and emergency/security applications. The company operates through four wholly-owned Swiss legal entities (ErvoCom AG, ErvoCom Engineering AG, ErvoCom International AG, and ErvoCom Schweiz AG) under the leadership of the Vogt family, and maintains 11-50 employees. Its core technology stack spans TETRA, DMR, LTE/MCx, analog and NXDN radio, VoIP-SIP, and proprietary audio processing, deployed as certified onboard equipment (EN50155, EN45545-2, TSI-PRM) for train radio, passenger intercoms, public address systems, driver machine interfaces, dispatcher consoles, and softswitches.
The product portfolio is organized into three business areas — Intelligent Transport, Critical Communication, and Emergency & Security — with flagship products including the TRS2090 multi-mode train radio system, the CCU2190 4G/5G MCx unit positioned as a FRMCS forerunner, the TRADIS2167 dispatcher system, the RCSS2170 Rail Communication Softswitch, the PAN-SYS G2 audio and telephony platform, and security offerings such as the RFID2147 personnel location system and SGS2100 Safety Guardian System. ErvoCom generates revenue through hardware sales, system integration and professional services, and software licensing, with all pricing negotiated project-by-project through competitive tenders and multi-year contracts.
The company reaches end customers through three go-to-market motions: direct enterprise sales to railway operators and government agencies (e.g., SBB, Deutsche Bahn, Translink, Swiss Confederation); OEM embedded supply to major train manufacturers (Stadler, Siemens, CAF, Hitachi Rail); and supply to radio infrastructure providers (e.g., Motorola Solutions). Customers span Switzerland, Germany, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Qatar, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Panama, the USA, and Sweden, with SBB acting as the long-term anchor across multiple fleet programs.
