Railroad Enhances Communications Network and Safety With Actelis Networks

Gets More Reliable Bandwidth To More Places Over High Performance Ethernet Over Copper,
Enabling Positive Train Control, Diverse Access, plus WiFi and Radio Communications With Crews.

A regional railroad transports close to half a million passengers and millions of tons of freight each year,
providing a vital link between cities and towns. All while braving extremely challenging environmental conditions and terrain spanning some very remote sections of country.
This railroad operator needs to make sure that they operate the railroad safely and efficiently, and to do this they need to maintain a state of the art communications network at all times.
