⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

ČD - Telematika states that it uses and offers customer services from data centers in Prague and Pardubice. On its ICT services page, it also says it expanded its third datacentre in Prague with a new 240 m² technology room and 119 rack positions.

The Prague expansion is described as a high-security facility with continuous supervision, designed for customers including government entities, operators, and large companies. The company also markets geographically independent data centres for telehousing and serverhousing.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

The Prague technology room is published with 119 rack positions, 630 kW of ICT capacity, connection to ČD - Telematika’s own optical backbone from several independent directions, location outside floodplains, 24-hour access for authorized persons, and continuous supervision center support. The site is also described as built in accordance with Tier III specifications.

The company’s telehousing service description states that the service is delivered 24/7/365 and covers placement of customer equipment, access to that equipment, and provision of power supply. The same document says equipment spaces conform to environmental requirements under ČSN ETS300_019_1-3.

Service Portfolio Overview:

1. Telehousing / serverhousing for customer-owned communications and IT equipment in ČD - Telematika data centres.
2. Internet access services through the ČDT-Internet product, including access circuit and internet connectivity.
3. Data services including MPLS VPN, Ethernet Line, Ethernet VPN, and optical channel connectivity.
4. ICT security and broader infrastructure operations, monitoring, and customer support services delivered nationwide.
5. Transport and railway telematics solutions, including GSM-R, ETCS, communications systems, and related implementation and servicing.

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

The Prague datacentre expansion is described as built to Tier III specifications, with high physical security, 24-hour authorized access, continuous supervision, and optical connectivity from several independent directions.

ČD - Telematika’s service documentation and annual report also point to always-on operations, including telehousing availability 24/7/365 and backup power infrastructure for Prague 9 data centres. The 2024 annual report references diesel generators used as backup power sources for the Prague 9 data centres at Pod Táborem 369/8a.

Physical & Logical Security:

The company describes its data centres as high-security premises with 24/7 surveillance, while the Prague expansion is said to meet the CONFIDENTIAL classification level and to support discriminating customers from government, operator, and large-enterprise segments.

The company also operates a dedicated CDT-CERT and markets ICT security services based on prior analysis, reflecting a broader cybersecurity layer beyond physical hosting.

Compliance & Standards:

ČD - Telematika publicly lists certifications for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1, ISO 21500, and ISO 50001. It also lists AQAP 2110 / ČOS 051622 and an NBÚ certificate.

The company’s about page also states that services are provided in accordance with ČSN ISO 9001 and ČSN ISO/IEC 20000-1, and that it holds NBU “Classified” level certification.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

I did not find a direct published carrier-neutral statement on the sources reviewed. What the company does publish clearly is that its data centre environments are connected to its own optical backbone from several independent directions and that it provides access, internet, and data services over one of the larger optical infrastructures in the Czech Republic.

Network Capabilities:

ČD - Telematika states that its backbone transmission network uses DWDM, CWDM, SDH, Ethernet, and MPLS L2 technologies. It says the DWDM layer enables up to 80 x 10 Gbit/s on one fibre pair and that the network has access points in more than 500 locations.

For internet services, the company says its IP backbone uses ring topology, with 2 x 10 Gbit/s between backbone points, access-network capacity up to 10 Gbit/s, dual connections to NIX at 100 Gbit/s, and international connectivity of 4 x 20 Gbit/s. It also states that IPv6 services are supported.

Its data services page additionally publishes MPLS VPN, Ethernet Line, and Ethernet VPN, plus optical channel options and support for optical interfaces including CWDM, DWDM, and Fiber Channel.

Connectivity Use Cases:

1. Enterprises or public-sector customers placing equipment in Prague or Pardubice data centres and needing secure telehousing with optical backbone access.
2. Multi-site organizations using MPLS VPN for secure site interconnection and unified internet access.
3. Customers needing point-to-point or point-to-multipoint Ethernet transport and high-capacity optical channels.

💼 Who It Serves

1. Telecommunications operators, local internet service providers, and other wholesale communications customers.
2. Government, large companies, and discriminating customers needing high-security datacentre environments.
3. Railway and transport-sector organizations needing telematics, communications, ETCS, GSM-R, and related support services.
