Improve freight rail operations and safety with wireless connectivity.
Coordinated operations boast safer and ore efficient performance – and few industries know this better than the rail industry. With increased status measurements, controls, and video verification, freight arrives on target, on time, and without incidents.
Extending measurements to monitor the health and wellbeing of workers also increases operational safety. As performance-enhancing sensors and cameras become the new standard, leading freight rail operators turn to private communications networks to connect remote devices and controls reliably and at substantial cost savings compared with leased lines.
Wireless communications infrastructure can also be implemented without causing interruptions to operations, without the time and labor cost of trenching cables.

Improve freight rail efficiency with licensed wireless connectivity
Secure, reliable, 24/7 communications are essential to efficient, safe, profitable rail freight operations.
The expense of building new railroad track has leading railroad companies racing to find ways to increase the capacity of existing tracks. Accomplishing that increase while minimizing capital investment is vital for business, but safety is always job #1. Insufficient communications infrastructure poses a major threat to operations – to the safety of rail employees and the public, and all essential activities associated with transportation.
Freight rail transportation providers find that increasing the amount and speed of data available through their communications infrastructure improves operational agility, capacity, and safety.
Connected operations perform efficiently and increase safety. As more sensors and cameras are added to improve performance, leading freight rail operators connect remote devices and controls with private wireless communications networks that provide consistently reliable connectivity at a substantial cost savings compared with leased lines.
Wireless technology from Cambium Networks integrates video, voice, email, and data traffic alongside SCADA data from sensors, and control points – on a single all-IP network featuring centralized end-to-end administration.
