Railway Radio Coverage
 |
|
The rail industry has a very strong development in the world. Despite the importance of the initial investment, the benefits are huge:
-
Traffic flow in large urban areas
-
Greater speed inter-city communications
-
Efficient transport of goods
-
Environmental impact with a more favorable road transport carbon footprint
In recent years, to make it more efficient rail transport, technological innovations using new telecommunication means are deployed before being completely generalized both new lines on existing lines.
SELECOM offers solutions that enable radio relay to succeed and complete deployment of the following technologies:
|
-
ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) is a European initiative aimed at harmonizing European rail signaling. It is composed of :
-
Mobile Communication aboard trains (On-board coverage) for transport users to continue using their mobility tools professional or personal (Mobile Phones, Tablets, Laptops, etc ...).
-
Radio Networks with Trunked Resources TETRA railway agents for better communication stations in the technical centers, when maneuvering, the Ground-Train radio.

The GSM-R coverage
ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) is a European initiative aimed at harmonizing European rail signaling. It is composed of :
-
ETCS (European Train Control System) which is used to manage rail traffic.
-
The GSM-R standard for communication between trains and operating the rail network stations.

Mobile phone onboard
Whether for professional applications that require constant connectivity, or for personal use, transport users are asking to continue using their mobile devices (Mobile Phones, Tablets, Laptops, etc ...) even at high speed.
Inside the trains, especially in high-speed trains, the use of mobile phones and devices is extremely limited. The quality of service is actually very poor for several reasons:
The metal frame of the car, shielding and tinting significantly attenuate the signal from the BTS, which creates a weak field at very low inside the train (effect "Farraday Cage").
Given the speed of the train, jumping BTS (handover) are very common. Amplified by the low field breaks BTS are often failures, causing frequent breaks during communications.

SELECOM proposes 2 types of solutions : |
Onboard Repeaters
|
|
Long Cell
|
|
The principle:
-
A specific antenna is installed on the roof of the train wagon or the signal for sensing the 2G, 3G, 4G from BTS along the railroad.
-
A specific repeater board treats this signal before distribute in the train or in the car through antennas or radiating cable.
|
|
The principle:
-
From a BTS, up to 7 repeaters are associated with optical fiber
-
With an intelligent synchronization repeaters, long cell 40 km long is created.
-
The transponders are placed closer to the track to fully optimize the field within the trains.

Trunked Radio Networks TETRA
Critical communications needs in the rail sector continues to grow:
-
Operation Assistance and Information Traveller System
-
Ground-Train network
-
Voice and Data Communication at the docks, during maneuvering, for security patrols, etc ...
To ensure greater reliability of these communications, TETRA has naturally imposed by its capabilities (shared mode, fast response, a success rate of linking).
To enable communication continuity everywhere (train stations, subways, corridors, technical centers, etc ...), relayed a system may be required in addition to the base stations.
SELECOM offers a wide range of RF and optical solutions for all types of infrastructure and to cover all types of terrain.
