A Czech company is the first on the
Czech railway to test 5G internet
and the new WiFi 6 wireless standard
The new 5G and WiFi 6 wireless standard offers a sufficiently wide bandwidth for
a larger number of devices and thus more stable and faster internet coverage on the
railway. AMiT internet routers for trains are already in use in ten European countries.
AMiT is now exclusively testing and supplying 5G and WiFi 6 technology to Czech
Railways. These routers and AP units provide internet and on-board services
to passengers on trains. They are also used, for example, to connect vehicles with central
control systems or to transmit telemetry data between the train and the control room.
"Wi-Fi internet connection is one of the
most frequently requested services by
both transport clients, i.e. in the case of
train transport in individual regions and by
passengers. They use the connection on
the train most often for work, but also for
entertainment," says Aleš Krutina, CEO of
AMiT.
According to available AMiT data, 95%
of passengers transfer an average of 600 MB
