Develop Reliable Train-to-Ground Communications

One of the biggest challenges in modern rolling stock systems is establishing solid communications between a fast-moving train and the trackside. Wireless technologies are commonly used in train-to-ground applications for bi-directional communications, and it is essential to choose the correct wireless technology for each specific rail system. Moxa has developed numerous wireless communication systems that have been deployed around the world. For use at trackside, we have a portfolio of new train-to-ground wireless APs. For use onboard trains, we have wireless clients and multiple WAN platforms. Our solutions help operators build reliable wireless communications for different environments.

Wireless Train-to-Ground Solutions for Multiple Rail Systems

  • WLAN Solutions
  • WWAN Solutions
  • WLAN and WWAN Solutions

In order to facilitate train-to-ground communication, WLAN technology is frequently used as it is suitable for applications such as CCTV and CBTC systems where reliability and costs are important considerations. However, in order to achieve reliable operation of CCTV and CBTC systems, the unique different network requirements of the two systems need to be considered. Download our application notes to learn more about Moxa’s WLAN train-to-ground solutions for CBTC and CCTV data communication.

In order to enhance the comfort of passengers, many train operators have introduced wireless services onboard trains. The Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard supports more bandwidth and offers improved handover times compared to previous solutions, creating a better onboard infotainment experience for passengers.

The main benefit of combining WLAN and WWAN into one product is that it allows users to ensure that they have the right technology available for their specific application. A train that travels long distances should optimize the network connection when it encounters different scenarios.
