Passenger connectivity on trains is not a new topic. Unfortunately, neither are the issues it throws up. Of course one central problem doesn’t change.

MWC 2020 preview
Some of the headline topics for MWC 2020 appear pretty generic – connectivity in the 5G era and the commercial implications of the (fairly meaningless) industry X concept – reflecting the continuing desire to create the broad church of the mobile ecosystem.

A report by Real Wireless, which was producedContinue reading “The Potential Impact of Switching off 2G in the UK”
Rail Wireless
What do rail passengers in 2019 want from wireless? Voice, web browsing, emailing and social media are pretty much a given, but it’s the ‘streaming’ services that are forecasted to generate 75-90% of traffic on trains.

There’s a lot of work to do to get acceptable connectivity on trains…
Everyone on trains has, at one point, suffered from poor connectivity on their phone, tablet or laptop when working while commuting, trying to access social media or catching up on the day’s news.
