Cisco and Intel are working alongside Network Rail Telecom (NRT) to bring about innovative technological solutions. These provide the necessary improvements to passenger experience and employee safety.
What It Means to Live in the 21st Century and Beyond
Dating back to the 18th century it was technology and innovation that brought us the first steam train. It’s technology and innovation that have brought us to where we are today. And it’s technology and innovation that will take us into the future.
As we face a climate crisis, and customer needs and working practices change, the rail industry needs to evolve to keep pace. Working in collaboration we are delivering high-speed connectivity to provide not only a smoother, safer passenger experience, but also a safer and more secure working environment. For the local community this connectivity will bring enhanced retail experience and levelling up opportunities. For the rail operating companies it brings cost optimisation, greater service efficiencies and further revenue opportunities.
The Foundation from Which We Build…
Supplying high-speed connectivity for station use and track to train is the foundation of this initiative. With connectivity at the core, you can deploy smart CCTV and sensor technology for use in a proactive and reactive manner. Analytics interpret the data, triggering alerts and initiating reactions to events.
