2 Introduction
The Lilee Systems TransAir PTC-3000 product family includes three components: TransAir
Wayside, TransAir Base Station and TransAir Locomotive radios. The TransAir PTC product

roaming and constant communication between central traffic control, wayside signals, and
onboard locomotive networks. This combined solution can help freight railroads and transit
operators maintain compliance with the Federal Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008.
