RAD, a leading communications technology developer for the rail sector, has been selected to provide wireless communications for train-to-ground connectivity between São Paulo's new monorail and the system's control centers, and also uninterrupted 'in-train' broadband connectivity, supporting live video, voice and Wi-Fi.
The project covers 18 stations and 26 trains operating over 18 km of track, all of which will be connected and will have access to new services such as surveillance cameras, warning systems, electronic advertising, Wi-Fi connectivity, telecommand channels, and more.
The deployment which is carried out by T`TRANS, telecommunications system integration company for the São Paulo Monorail Line 17-Gold project, uses RAD's advanced Airmux-5000 Mobility, point-to-multipoint 5GHz radios.
“The important differentiators of RAD technology are its level of reliability, availability and coverage over extended distances. All this combines to guarantee uninterrupted connectivity with the monorail, traveling at speeds of up to 200 km per hour, while supplying sufficient bandwidth for video, voice and data communications."
- Valter Teixeira, General Manager of RAD Brazil
