Train-to-ground Wi-Fi / cellular networks

Flexible Train-to-ground Communications

Wi-Fi and cellular technologies are now essential for train-to-ground (T2G) communications. Cellular ensures continuous data connectivity during operation, while Wi-Fi supports rapid roaming and cost-efficient data transfer at stations. Moxa’s hybrid T2G design integrates both for reliable, always-on communication.

Three T2G Scenarios

Fast roaming over Wi-Fi
Data transmission over cellular
Offloading over Wi-Fi at station/depot

Transmit CCTV and CBTC Data to OCC Over Wi-Fi 6

Scenario

Requires the deployment of trackside access points every 200 to 300 meters for smooth roaming. These access points connect to fiber-linked, ruggedized trackside switches.

Moxa Solution

The TAP-M310R Series employs a modular architecture with Ethernet switch modules that support multiple Ethernet/Turbo Chains, facilitating straightforward installation and expansion.

Benefits

Resilient and easily expandable network design providing cost-effective scalability.

Data Transmission Over 5G During Operation

Scenario

The rail industry demands faster, low-latency networks for operational reliability and advanced analytics.
