Mainline - High Speed - Heavy Rail

High-speed rail lines and main line rails serve different markets but share similar requirements for supporting voice, video, low and high speed data, and real time information between control centers, trains and stations. In addition, each system also has unique applications. For example:

High-speed trains are heavily computerized, with many communications and signaling functions controlled digitally.
Main line carriers are moving towards network management, train control and electronic interlocking systems controlled in a few central locations.

RAD multiplexers, cross connects, modems, and aggregation devices enable railway communications systems managers to ensure reliable network performance between control centers, trains, suburban stations, and emergency staff and services.

Because of the delay-sensitive nature of many mission-critical railway applications, TDM-based networks continue serve as the main transport technology for railway communications. RAD products have been engineered to maximize the capacity of these networks while supporting the transition to packet-based infrastructures where feasible. These products are certified to operate in the harshest environmental conditions typical of field deployments in these industries. RAD supports industry standards and offers reliable connectivity for a wide range of data rates over any available media – copper, fiber optic and wireless links.
