Connectivity for Transport

In today’s connected world, people expect Wi-Fi connectivity to be available whilst they are travelling from A to B.

Fixed locations such as airports, train and metro stations, bus terminals, ports and marinas have already been offering guest broadband internet access. However, customers now expect broadband internet connectivity on the move, therefore bus, metro and train operators, and taxi services have started to offer broadband internet service to commuters.

With the advent of 4G and 5G services, it has become possible to provide good Wi-Fi internet access in the cellular/mobile coverage area. Several companies now also offer entertainment on demand using Wi-Fi technology.

Digitalisation in Rail

The digitalisation of trains is transforming rail infrastructure. There are now more and more onboard systems that collect increasing amounts of data while a train is in motion, such as operational sensors, CCTV for public safety, and passenger information systems.

In addition, there is an increased demand to provide consistent broadband connectivity along the route. This is both for operational purposes (communications-based train control, CCTV, sensors or alerts) and to improve services and the passenger experience (Wi-Fi connectivity, transmission of media advertisements). These types of services are required for all forms of rail transportation, whether it be metro, tram, light rail, commuter rail or similar.

Wireless Broadband for Buses

Data recorded on buses accumulates over a single day, requiring high capacity and fast offload, either when a bus arrives at a bus station or parks in a terminal.

Utilising an ultra-high-capacity offload system such as RADWIN’s TerraBridge can shorten the time smart buses need to keep their engines running, as well as reduce unnecessary emissions throughout the offload process, thereby reducing environmental impacts.

Wireless Broadband for Highways

We supply extended temperature range and hardened networking equipment suitable for deployment on the busy highways network. Our wireless technology helps to overcome typical challenges such as extending connectivity across motorways and roads without having to close roads and dig expensive trenching. The technology allows our partners to extend connectivity to areas where traditional connectivity solutions such as fibre are cost prohibitive.
