With a height of 40mm (1.6 inch) the new Sencity Rail MIMO low profile 2G/3G/4G antenna from Humer and Suhner is suited to trains running in tunnels with tight gauges and double-decker trains.

Described as robust omni-directional antenna developed for the railway market, it consists of two broadband radiating elements for 2G, 3G and 4G mobile communication in a single compact housing. It supports the frequencies from 790MHz to 2,700MHz and is compatible with all European mobile communication networks.

Retrofit compatibility the company’s Sensity rail antenna allowing system integrators to upgrade the train to MIMO technology.

Here, we look at why and what’s being done to address the issue. In the US, the right of cooperative infrastructure to use frequency at 5.9GHz is under threat as a result of the proposal of two bills in Congress.

    Marseille’s city authority has added the monitoring of a second tunnel to the existing network with a new approach towards video management. Measuring 1.5km in length, the double-deck Prado Sud tunnel extends Marseille’s existing 2.5km Prado Carénage tunnel towards the southern part of the city. While it was logical to use a common control room and to use the latest detection and monitoring systems in the new tunnel, it was deemed too disruptive and costly to completely upgrade the existing tunnel.

    Portuguese manufacturer Sernis has introduced the SR-40, a reflective road stud that is very much at home in harsh conditions and is snowplough-resistant. Its design includes a solar panel of less than 1W in power, making it perfect for countries with low sun exposure. The stud also has RF low power 868MHz mesh network communication and has microcontroller technology inside each stud. Features include a wake up and sleep function, automatic brightness control and night-level contraction.
