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
