General information
- Short Summary
- UK technology company that specialises in mmWave (millimetre) radio technology. Their cutting-edge, true gigabit mmWave wireless communications systems are solving important connectivity challenges right across a range of data intensive applications and complex industries. This company offers technical support to potential partners to install their technology under a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
- Full Description
-
UK company is a pioneer in mmWave communications and a leader in wireless networking equipment for multi-gigabit connectivity. Their high-speed connectivity solution has been designed by rail professionals to meet the diverse needs of the rail sector. Designed to address longstanding challenges in delivering high-bandwidth connectivity, their product ensures reliable service for trains in both rural areas and on high-speed lines across any segment of the rail industry.
With a track record of over five years of successful deployments, their solution is now actively operating throughout the UK, EU, and US, delivering more than 1 Gbps of uncontended bandwidth to trains. This high-capacity connectivity supports critical functions, including safety, signalling, and commercial opportunities. The track-to-train, mmWave solution operates within the license-free 57-71GHz spectrum and utilises beamforming technology to work with any challenging topologies, including tunnels & adverse weather.
The business seeks international partners for commercial agreements with technical assistance. Ideal partners will be companies that operate in rail transport infrastructure. These companies will be interested in applying innovative technologies to improve operational and connectivity performance. - Advantages and Innovations
-
This product has been designed by rail engineers for the rail sector and focuses on solving all the issues that standard cellular, WIFI & satellite technologies can’t fully solve.
▪ It is also designed to be easy to deploy and cost-effective to both trackside & on-trains, with an estimated x5 savings vs cellular & Wi-Fi network.
▪ It doesn’t require expensive contracts with national mobile network operators due to the use of uncontended bandwidth increasing savings for private / national train operating companies extensively.
▪ By using only 40Watts, the distribution (trackside) node can be powered by solar or wind energy, supporting national decarbonisation goals & net-zero objectives.
▪ This product is currently commercially deployed on commuter lines as it is a mature, well tested technology,
▪ Designed to be train’s back-bone agnostic, it can be easily deployed on existing fleets & connected to all major train technology providers such as Nomad Digital, iComera, McLaren Applied & others to support advanced monetisation models and ensure a strong return on investment.
▪ In short: >1Gbps per train, tested at more than 300Kph - Stage of Development
