High Speed Transit Meets High Speed Wi-Fi.
Client Overview
Our client is a renowned multinational aerospace and transportation equipment manufacturer based in Canada. The company began with producing snowmobiles, and over the years it has grown into a large manufacturer of mass transportation equipment, aerospace equipment, and a provider of financial services. The company is now a Fortune Global 500 conglomerate organization.
Business Challenge
The global company designs most of the high speed, local, and metro trains in Europe. When a train pulls into the station, all of the diagnostic information that the train collects during its journey needs to be uploaded to the servers, checked, and sent back to the train. In years past, someone would physically connect a LAN cable to the train to download the information. Today, the information is sent wirelessly. However, today’s changing technology requires more and more data to be downloaded each time the train arrives at the station. Originally a train would have a maximum of 200 mbts per arrival, while today it is upwards of 2 GB. The manufacturer reached out to Adapture to design a new wireless solution including installation, implementation, and configuration, providing channel-alternative maintenance of the installed networking hardware across six different locations in Europe.
