Train-To-Ground Communications for Urban and Metro Rail
A proven secure and resilient broadband communications system to support safety-critical and safety-related railway applications.
Enabling Safe, On-Time and Connected Journeys
Today’s urban/metro railway operators are in the spotlight as governments look to reduce urban congestion, lower carbon emissions and increase the numbers of passengers served. Getting passengers to choose rail is about better in-station and on-board experiences, ensuring efficient on-time operations and 24/7 safety and security.
- Better passenger experiences – Passengers expect enriched travel experiences with uninterrupted broadband connectivity and easy access to real-time travel information and announcements, both in-station and on-board.
- Efficient, on-time operations – Digital, data-driven operations start with critical applications like SCADA and CBTC but can include everything from predictive maintenance to asset monitoring and renewal.
- Around-the-clock safety and security – Keeping passengers safe and assets secure requires real-time CCTV video streaming and analytics, as well as mission-critical voice and video communications for operations personnel.
Mission-Critical Broadband Connectivity Is the Foundation for Digitally Transforming Today’s Railways
The traditional Wi-Fi networks that most urban and metro rail operators rely on today weren’t built for the demands of mission-critical rail. Simply put, Wi-Fi is not designed to support high speed mobility. Performance and quality of service cannot be guaranteed and the technology is susceptible to security compromises.
