In December 2018, the company was renamed into LLC 1520 Signal, becoming the flagship of the created RAT Division of the 1520 Group of Companies.

The company is a pioneer in the development and implementation of microprocessor-based centralization systems on Russian railways. From 1996 to 1999, the equipment and software of the CBI EBILock 950 were adapted. Since 2000, the implementation of the system on the network began. The first station equipped with the EBILock 950 CBI is Kalashnikovo station located on the main high-speed passenger passage of the Oktyabrskaya Railway.

To date, the company has successfully equipped more than 450 railway infrastructure facilities in Russia and abroad with modern microprocessor-based railway automation systems (over 12,000 switches, more than 2,000 km of automatic blocking).

The RBTC system, which provides interval regulation of train traffic using mobile block sections, has been deployed on the lines of Kazakhstan and Mongolia with a total length of more than 2,700 km.

The geography of 1520 Signal projects covers all railways — branches of Russian Railways, as well as large complex projects for the development of railway infrastructure in the 1520-gauge space and far abroad countries from the Baltic to the Pacific Ocean.
