With the Sencity Road MIMO, 7889 Huber+Suhner is extending its portfolio of rooftop antennas for buses, commercial vehicles, trams and underground railways.

The new Sensity Road MIMO is able to achieve a far higher data rate than a standard antenna, supporting applications with very high data rates, such as passenger information systems, passenger monitoring or internet on board.

Depending on the version, this compact omni-directional antenna includes two broadband radiating elements for 2G/3G/4G mobile communication and GPS, or three radiating elements for Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz. The antenna

supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) in the frequency range 698 MHz to 2700 MHz for all mobile communication networks.

The mobile communication version of the MIMO antenna is available for operators with an existing mobile communication network while for those using hotspots at bus stops or in the depot to access Wi-Fi technology, the Wi-Fi MIMO version of Sensity Road will be available in the future.

    Weathering the elements: how weather affects the network
    Weather-related problems can render cost-cutting counter productive, according to CommScope’s Philip Sorrells. When severe weather conditions make headlines every winter, motorists and travellers seem willing to accept the impact on the trains and roads and yet take for granted that the communications networks will continue uninterrupted. They often appear far more upset that the information system does not give them an update on road conditions, train services or bus arrival times than they are about the a

    Scott Belcher of ITS America explains why moves towards spectrum sharing in the 5.9GHz band should not be allowed to proceed until further analysis of the risks to road safety has been undertaken. The ability to move people and goods safely and efficiently has always had a direct impact on a country’s economic advantage and its citizens’ quality of life. It is estimated that by 2050, the number of vehicles around the world is set to double to two billion, placing enormous demands on the global transport
