Managing an expansive rail network is in no way a simple task. Whether it is optimising network capacity or keeping crews safe, challenges arise daily. Yet a lack of cellular network coverage hampers visibility over networks, compromising your capacity to operate efficiently and safely. This is where our rail telemetry and communications solutions can transform the way you oversee your network and help bring your crews home safe.
Our satellite connectivity supports the real-time transfer of telemetry data from your trains to control centres, as well as extending voice coverage from your drivers and staff beyond the range of your existing radio networks. Working with our global partners, we ensure control centres have the data they need to efficiently and safely monitor and schedule the movement of locomotives, rolling stock and goods across your entire rail network.
Our solutions utilise low form factor BGAN terminals, such as the Cobham Explorer 325 and 323, which are perfect for mounting on vehicles, locomotives and other machinery. This is combined with the PRISM Push-to-Talk (PTT) radio communications system that links to the terminal to provide voice communication. By choosing the most cost-effective connectivity channel, our solutions extend coverage beyond the line of sight and ensure you stay connected with crews, wherever they are located.
Built on our rock-solid L-band network, our rail telemetry and communications solutions ensure that you can access highly reliable connectivity across your network, covering white spots in terrestrial coverage as well as providing a backup if existing networks fail. This makes telemetry data such as location, speed, heading and engine diagnostics always available to control centre operators, no matter where your networks are.
