Wireless Train
Scoop: The worlds first wireless wifi train
What’s widely regarded as the worlds first wifi service on a train will debut in february on the Linx train between Copenhagen, Denmark and Gothenburg, Sweden.
Uses antennas on the roof of the train for the connection and wifi radios internally in the train.
The downstream is provided by satellite when available (100 kbit to 1mbit in testing), the upstream is done through several bundled gsm channels. The system is developed by Icomera.
I’ll try to give it a test in the end of february and post about the experience.
