- Typical network architecture for railway system infrastructure
- Considerations for choosing train-to-ground communication systems
Excerpts
"Using real-time positioning systems provides a solution for capacity challenges and avoids the need for disruptive and expensive civil engineering projects."
"The communication link between train and ground infrastructure is critical. The performance and reliability of this link and the associated Ethernet-based systems will become even more vital."
"Domain expertise, products with a legacy of safety and reliability and dedicated future-proof solutions are key considerations when choosing train-to-ground communication systems."
