RAILWAY & MOBILITY / SOLUTION

Non-stop connectivity for rail that keeps moving.

Built on years of railway field experience, IDY brings proven industrial connectivity into the 5G era with next-generation Multi-RAT architectures.

01 / PROVEN IN RAILWAY

Connectivity proven in real railway environments.

IDY industrial communication devices have been deployed not only onboard trains, but across stations, digital signage, payment and retail systems, trackside monitoring and maintenance environments.

02 / FROM LTE TO 5G

Do not design the next decade around LTE alone.

Railway equipment is expected to operate for many years, while mobile networks continue their transition from LTE to 5G. The next refresh should account for both today’s LTE and the 5G networks ahead.

03 / AUTOMATION

Automation is expanding from trains to stations and maintenance.

The more operational roles shift from people to connected systems, the greater the impact of a communications failure.

NOW

Operations depend heavily on drivers, conductors, station and maintenance staff

STEP 1

One-person operation, remote monitoring and smart stations

STEP 2

AI cameras, sensors, inspection and service robots

FUTURE

Autonomous operation, predictive maintenance and integrated remote control

As connected systems take on more operational roles, communications shift from convenience to infrastructure that cannot stop.
04 / ARCHITECTURE

Connect trains, stations, infrastructure and control through one resilient architecture.

Avoid dependence on a single path by combining 5G/LTE, multiple carriers, edge processing, RF engineering and automatic recovery.

05 / TECHNOLOGY

IDY RESILIENCE LAYER

Reduce communications failure through multiple, complementary technology layers rather than a single feature.

01

MULTI-RAT

Combine 5G, LTE, regional BWA and local 5G according to the application.

02

MULTI-SIM

Use multiple carriers to reduce dependence on a single network.

03

AUTO RECOVERY

Monitor connectivity and device state and support autonomous recovery.

04

EDGE

Keep local processing available without complete dependence on continuous cloud access.

05

RF / ANTENNA

Engineer radio performance around trains, stations and trackside installation conditions.

FIELD-PROVEN ENGINEERINGBeyond devices: RF, antennas, networks and field operations.We engineer each communication product as part of one resilient connectivity system.
06 / INSTALLATION READY

Design certification all the way to the antenna and cable.

The best location for a communications device is not always the best location for its antenna. IDY offers antenna systems with specified extension-cable combinations as formal product configurations, enabling cable length to be selected around real installation constraints.

* Available extension lengths and certified configurations vary by antenna model.

07 / MAINTENANCE & MONITORING

Track and infrastructure monitoring are central to keeping railways running.

Continuous communications turn field conditions into actionable data, supporting planned and condition-based maintenance.

TRACK / POINT / FIELD WORKConnect track maintenance and inspection teams in real time.
WINTER MAINTENANCESnow removal & winter maintenance
SERVICE VEHICLEService & cleaning vehicle operations
TRACK

Track & point monitoring

Collect sensor and camera data to continuously observe changes in track condition.

POWER

Overhead line & power monitoring

Connect distributed equipment for remote inspection and maintenance decisions.

STRUCTURE

Bridges, tunnels & slopes

Send images and sensor data to edge or cloud systems for anomaly detection.

ROBOTICS

Inspection robots & drones

Connect machines used in hard-to-access areas and support remote or automated inspection.

THE FUTURE OF RAIL CONNECTIVITY

As railway DX advances, the impact of a communications outage grows.

Connectivity must be designed as infrastructure supporting operations, maintenance and a sustainable workforce.
