Wireless at work

Friday, June 22 2007 15:05 pm

From alcohol level testing to fleet management, wireless technologies open up new possibilities.


Colubris Networks, which counts Japan's Tsukuba Express among its clients, has clinched a deal to provide wireless LAN (WLAN) access points to all 51 MTR subway stations in Hong Kong by the end of the year.

According to Colubris Networks, public train operators typically build a business case for Wi-Fi based around five applications: video surveillance, infotainment, passenger Internet connectivity, voice communications for employees, and train maintenance and diagnostics.

The challenges of implementing Wi-Fi on trains are in providing consistent bandwidth, outdoor/indoor connectivity, fast roaming/mobility, and reducing vibration.
