Israel's RADWIN, a global provider of broadband wireless solutions, has introduced its TerraBridge solution specifically designed for the railway industry to support high-speed inter-carriage connectivity and data offload from trains.
TerraBridge, based on the 60GHz mmWave band, enables transmission of more than 1.5Gbps of data traffic. By using TerraBridge for an inter-carriage connection, train operators can easily create an end-to-end gigabit network across the train. TerraBridge seamlessly adapts to dynamic train composition scenarios, assuring operational efficiency, ease of use, and unparalleled flexibility, Radwin said.
According to the company, TerraBridge offers a superior alternative to mechanical couplers with minimal hassle installation and no wear and tear over time that is typical of mechanical components.
The mmWave 5G era solution can also be used to support high-speed data offload and upload when trains stop in the station or park in the depot. The solution, Radwin said, is designed specifically for railway applications, providing an extremely small footprint, ease of installation, and minimal maintenance requirements
Nir Hayzler, VP of RADWIN's Strategic Industries Business, said, "Most wireless solutions available today for inter-carriage connectivity and data offload are limited in actual throughput, spectrum availability, interference, and complexity. RADWIN has combined its wireless expertise and understanding of its public transportation customers to create a cutting-edge solution that fulfills the needs of the marketplace."
RADWIN's solutions power applications including backhaul, access, private network connectivity, and broadband on the move for rail and metro trains. The solutions are equipped with OSS tools that support all operational aspects of the network lifecycle and enable operation in the toughest conditions including interference and nLOS, according to the company.
