The TRainCom
® technology was designed and developed for new and
innovative radio communication solutions supporting data services in
rail applications even up to ultra-high-speed Transrapid MAGLEV
trains. Today TRainCom
® is the brand name of TELEFUNKEN’s product
family of high- performance broadband radio systems for use in all
kinds of rail applications.
The scalable system structure and architecture makes TRainCom
® radio
systems adaptable to all train systems – trams, light rail vehicles,
metros, high speed trains and maglev trains – with velocities up to 600
km/h without any performance degradation, even in tunnels. An
innovative system concept and a high transmission quality with data
rates of up to 32 Mbps allows an integration of multiple communication
services in a broadband environment. This not only improves operational
aspects and passenger comfort, but could also revolutionize data
transmission technology in the railway sector.
A TRainCom® radio system can be used for data transmissions of different services and applications:
- Video surveillance – transfer of video data out of the moving train (CCTV)
- Train control (CBTC/ ATO/ UTO)
- Operational voice communication (VoIP)
- Online diagnostic data
- Tunnel inspection
- Passenger counting and passenger flow management (APC)
- Transportation management system (TMS)
- Internet access for passengers
- Real-time passenger information system (PIS)
- Online advertising and merchandising
- Passenger infotainment with online news service and TV flash
- Online reservation and ticketing
Due to its broadband and constant link character, multiple applications
can be supported simultaneously, without interference and hassle
between them.
