Tr@ins (2008)
Satellite communication, Trackside communication, Heterogeneous access
Internet on the train
The objective of the TR@INS project was to get internet on the train. It was already possible to get mobile access, but there were some major problems:
- no broadband internet
- interrupted access
- poor quality of service
- no on-board mobility support
Reliable broadband internet onboard
Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine modern on-board technologies without reliable internet. The TR@INS technology is used in several solutions such as passenger information, fleet management, crew communication and security.
