5 Available Solutions April 17

Broadband Technological Solutions Wi-Max 2-Way Satellite Solutions with Wi-max/GPRS/ 3G backup April 17

Wi Max (Trackside Antenna Systems) Max: 5 Km Will require a mast with antennas every 2 - 5 km (less in cities, on corners) with power and data connections Issues for maintenance, reliability, security, power supply etc Heavy CAP-EX and OP- EX E.g. Choices for data connectivity: Optical Fibre Requires breaking the fibre every 5km e.g. 100 times between Mumbai & Ahmedabad Latency, and Reliability issues One failure of optical switch and whole fibre and train communication system out Daisy chain radios One failure and whole system is out till next data drop April 17

Bi-Directional Satellite Solution Single Platform required for making the full Train On line GPS based Satellite Tracking Antenna with Master Server Mobile Access Router Gives Possibility Of Switching Between Satellite To Available Wireless Radios like GPRS, UMTS, 3G, Wi-Max etc in the Event Of Tunnels Or Long Over Bridge Reasonable CAP - EX and OP - EX Indian geographical situations are perfect as we are located near the equator so the satellite beam strength delivers max power Techno Sat Comm Satellite Solution is proven, robust, scalable and economical Considering the route distances and average journey time Satellite solution confirms to fit in Indian conditions April 17
