Reicom for railway sector

The technological platform, designed by Reicom together with Firema, its industrial and strategic Partner in the railways business, solves completely the existing issues of this sector. 

Thanks to Clancast® and HSBRA radio technology, able to create stable connections between trains while moving at 300 Km/h, it is now possible to grant telemetry and telediagnosis real time services and real time high speed audio and video links from ground to train and vice versa. Moreover this technology gives the concrete possibility to have a mobile phone system on board even in tunnel and more. For example, our technology is able to ensure an advanced Passenger Information System and Live digital TV channels on board, even underground.

Thanks to Reicom HSBRA (High Speed Broadband Radio Access) technology, the trains can easily communicate with a ground DCT in any condition. The link is stable and secure, both outside and under galleries and, thanks to special antennas, it is possible to optimize the rail coverage granting an easy coverage of hundreds kilometers of rail. Everything is done with a very low electromagnetic emission, that is tens times less than modern mobile phone and GSM-R systems, and definitely with an higher data rate.

This system is made up only with extended range components (- 45 ÷ 85°C), with unmatched performances and reliability:

• A new hardware accelerator, compliant H.264, capable to process, in real time and full duplex, complex video flow in D1 format (complete PAL) @ 25 fps and RGB24 colour depth 

• A real time differential BUS, entirely developed by Reicom, capable to cover long distances aboard of the train and to transmit, without disturbs, real time data, both discrete and streaming. A product capable to connect together every device, LED display, speaker, microphone, etc… making redundant the separated links to the control units and reducing the amount of wiring required to control the various devices.
 
• A new generation of wide band radio technology, designed to correctly operate in tunnels and at high speed. A radio technology, type SDR (Software Defined Radio), with military spec, integrated on an extended range board, modular and hot swap, specifically designed for railways application. A radio subsystem that can connect, with continuity and stability, a high speed train to every kind of ground networks, both in open field and tunnels, delivering high bandwidth services, but also real time data for telemetry and remote diagnostic.
 
• Clancast, the revolutionary communication stack, completely distributed, capable to create, instantaneously, a communication network in the field, independently from its conformation and topology. A group of intellectual properties, subjected to international patent, capable to create redundant network to transmit various type of synchronous audio and video data.
