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.

    Victorian government to implement high capacity signalling on new rail line
    The Victorian government, Australia has awarded CPB Contractors and Bombardier Transportation the contract to deliver the US$790 million (AU$1 billion) Rail Systems Alliance in Melbourne, which includes the roll-out of a 55 kilometre long high capacity signalling (HCS) and communications system. HCS allows trains to safely run closer together, meaning they can run more often. The technology will enable trains every two to three minutes, creating a ‘turn-up-and-go’ train network for Melbourne. The signalling
