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
