ETELM plees for an integrated approach to meet need for high-speed communications for rail
As new LTE mission critical standards are being established by 3GPP, there is a major opportunity for the rail industry to benefit from the latest secure broadband voice and data services. This was the message given today by Paul Ward, International Sales Director for ETELM, speaking on the opening day of Asia Pacific Rail in Hong Kong. Ward described how LTE offers mission critical services that represents an exciting opportunity for railway operators to provide a single solution for operational and maintenance services. This includes passenger information applications, CCTV, traffic management, ticketing and other services. He explained how this unified network will help railway operators to optimize services, reduce infrastructure costs and even provide new revenue streams such as through broadcasting advertisements.
Ward commented: “Communications requirements within the transport sector involve advanced, mission critical voice and data services along with the integration of other applications such as signalling, dispatching and passenger information. Mission Critical LTE provides the perfect solution for transport communications as it offers higher speed mobile data services and mission critical voice services.” Picture: Paul Ward at 5G World 2017.
