Safe and Secure Passage of People and Assets
Whether they are carrying passengers or cargo, operating in populated cities or moving across remote areas, train and rail operations managers are responsible for ensuring the safe and secure passage of both people and assets.
Communications systems for tramway, subway, and rail operations systems typically include a combination of sensors all along the journey, that operate like a relay system as a train moves to its destination. Passengers and personnel make use of the internet onboard to be able to work and connect, while command centers also make use of real time information to monitor speed and location of trains, check sensors on the wheels, monitor freight status and fuel/battery consumption, as well as the overall health of a train. Train-to-ground connections are also important for emergency or security situations.

The challenge for rail operations managers is having high quality, uninterrupted connectivity for slow and fast moving trains even as they move underground through tunnels or in remote areas or in dense urban zones. Additionally, there’s a challenge of optimizing costs as both traditional and innovative communication solutions can be expensive.
What if rail operators could ensure that trains have the coverage when they need it, where they need it? What if they could have enough bandwidth to connect multiple CCTV security cameras to nearby police stations without losing the connection? What if they could have a 100% uptime guarantee, and ensure that everyone on the train can connect when they want to, and train-to-ground communications are never disrupted? What if they could be sure they have a military-grade secure and private network when and where they need it….and still pay less for it?
Thanks to Luceor’s WiMESH and HyMESH patented technologies.
Learn how Luceor’s communication devices helped rail operations managers offer high throughput internet to passengers, and securely connect onboard CCTV cameras to police offices, with Luceor’s help:
The key to getting a more reliable and integrated communications system for rail operations is to decentralize your network. With Luceor WiMESH technology, individual trains and “pylons” form a fully dynamic self-organized mesh network with seamless handover to/between ground points. Individual trains are also automatically empowered/enabled to become a point of connection for every other train, in order to prevent a “hidden train” problem. When trains are on the move, they’ll always have multiple potential connection points, while automatically expanding the available network bandwidth and coverage to ensure continued access.
With better bandwidth that results, tramways, subways, and other passenger train operators can ensure that their customers can load and view any digital content they wish to enjoy without a problem, and become more competitive in the process. At the same time, train-to-train and train-to-vehicle connections become possible while also ensuring that command centers have unbroken access to the information they need. Train operators experience no delay in identifying and communicating security situations, while also enabling a seamless train-to-trackside handoff. Finally, video streams from onboard CCTV cameras can be accessed in real time.
Our next generation HyMESH technology provides access to a secondary or tertiary network (mobile networks or satellite) to ensure that connectivity is simply never lost, guaranteed, even in dense urban areas with high interference. All this, in turn, ensures that rail operations personnel can do their job with the best available information, without fail, and that passengers can work like they are in an office.
Both our WiMESH and Hybrid Mesh (HyMESH) technology ensure the highest quality connectivity through a unique network for passengers, rail operations managers, operators, ground and security personnel. But just as importantly, they minimize the cost because the equipment doesn’t require a large upfront investment in infrastructure. It can, however, integrate with the existing infrastructure you may already have in place.
Our next generation HyMESH technology optimizes costs by intelligently accessing top technology such as 5G, but only where needed (as a backup or where additional throughput is required).
