A vintage steam train bursts out of a fan-shaped depot, chugging towards a future where a 5G/Wi-Fi networkenabled smart railway takes centre stage, encapsulating an aura of momentum and futurism.
Rail travel, with the aid of mobile surveillance, has never been more secure and suitable for long journeys. We’re entering a new era of smart railways, powered by edge AI. One of the driving forces behind this shift is NEXCOM, a leader in the application of smart railway technologies. Infused with a passion for progress and a mission to create a better, more connected future, NEXCOM has been instrumental in driving key technologies forward.
Modular Board Designs Enable Rapid Customisation
The standout features of smart railways are their modular board designs. These designs can fulfil all types of applications with existing module boards and can even develop new ones within just three months. The concept of modularisation, a cornerstone of NEXCOM’s nROK 7270 and 7271 systems equipped with the cutting-edge 12/13th generation Intel® Core™ i9 desktop processors, enables rapid response to unique client needs. A series of prepared module boards can be assembled to client specifications, offering swift delivery of customised solutions – crucial for smart railways.
Abundant I/O Designs Fulfil Infotainment, Safety and Edge AI Computing Applications
Consider a bustling city station. As a train glides on to a platform, passengers aboard are deep into their digital devices – streaming videos, reading news or catching up on work, from the uninterrupted onboard 5G/Wi-Fi network, powered by the nROK systems; the nROK systems can host expandable to four 5G/LTE modules, and expandable to three wireless modules. This increased bandwidth and capacity for concurrent users is crucial for managing large passenger loads, enhancing service quality and passenger satisfaction.
