Enhancing Railway Systems
The Introduction:
Despite the overwhelming existence of the airways and ships as modes of transport and carriage services, the railways had, have and always will be an important transportation infrastructure. The railways virtually form the backbone of any country’s economy by transporting millions of passengers and tons of material through tens of thousands of miles round the clock, throughout the year.

The Challenge:
Taking into account the number of trains running at high speeds separated by a few minutes on a common set of tracks, the railways as a system is a very intricate and a perilous enterprise. To control and coordinate the innards of this system, teams of experts need to watch the movements of the trains and in order to facilitate this, what better way than a video surveillance solution. However installing and linking cameras throughout the track is not only cost prohibitive but also at times cumbersome to implement in inaccessible geographies.
The Solution:
By leveraging Proxim’s wireless solutions railway organizations can cost effectively and effortlessly install various ITS components even in challenging spots such as underground tunnels etc. Additionally Proxim’s .11 series with its roaming capability allows passengers accessing the internet via Wi-Fi hotspots and control stations to seamlessly receive and transmit data from fast moving mobile trains.
