  Industrial Ethernet Leads Rail Networks
into the Future
 
   
  The costs and bandwidth problems associated with traditional train networking systems make Ethernet networking an extremely attractive option. Ethernet infrastructures make it easy to integrate new systems and new applications that emerge in the future. High-bandwidth Ethernet backbones are now the leading method for implementing new applications such as passenger entertainment systems and high-quality video surveillance applications.

  Challenges of Migrating Train Networks to the Future  
   
 
 
Enhancing passenger comfort and maximizing passenger security are two key elements for next generation trains. However, current field-bus based conventional train communication networks (TCN) are limited in their ability to support multiple services such as IP video surveillance or security intercoms. In addition, conventional networks use different proprietary technologies that result in unnecessary costs. The challenges facing conventional networks are illustrated below:
 
  • Higher bandwidth to satisfy multimedia services designed for passenger comfort and to enhance security
  • Rapid wireless roaming to create seamless connections for ground-to-train communications
  • EN50155 compliant IP cameras to endure harsh on-board environments
  • Greater simplicity, network connections with reduced wiring and costs
  • Cost-effective paths to realize high network availability
