Radwin Wins Passenger Innovation of the Year Award 2017

Israeli company Radwin, provider of train-to-ground wireless communications solutions, received the prestigious Passenger Innovation of the Year 2017 Award last week at the SmartRail Europe Innovation Awards in Amsterdam, Holland. The company has earned this award for its FiberinMotion train-to-ground solution.

FiberinMotion brings 500 Mbps net throughput to trains with extensive coverage. The solution supports train speeds of up to 350 km/h, but Radwin promises that it will go up to 500 km/h trains in the near future. It also brings seamless handover, very good performance in non-line-of-sight and tunnels, and it comes in IP67 ruggedized units.

“A big congratulations to all the team at Radwin for securing the Passenger Innovation of the Year 2017 award at SmartRail Europe. In a category full of fantastic innovations, Radwin’s Next Generation Train-to-Ground solution which delivers 500 Mbps user throughput to trains - a figure unparalleled in the industry - stood out as a particularly strong entry and a worthy winner. We look forward to seeing what future developments they will deliver to further advance the transportation industry,“ said editor of SmartRail World and chair of the judging panel Luke Upton.

“Radwin is honored to receive this award for its FiberinMotion train-to-ground solution. FiberinMotion’s ability to provide 500 Mbps for trains on-the-move opens a new world of possibilities for rail and metro operators. With FiberinMotion, transport operators can enhance Wi-Fi connectivity, dramatically improve the passenger experience while differentiating themselves from the competition, and also increase revenue opportunities. The Wi-Fi network deployed by MaximaTelecom and Radwin onboard the Moscow Metro has set a new industry standard for public transportation Wi-Fi service, winning multiple accolades globally,“ said Radwin's VP and Head of Strategic Industries Business Nir Hayzler.
