As SunRail’s end-to-end solutions partner, Icomera will replace the existing, legacy Wi-Fi system aboard 22 cars (cabs + coaches).
The project marks an expansion of the relationship with Icomera and Amtrak, which began in 2015, as one of the first North American customers to host the industry-leading, mobile connectivity platform on board a moving vehicle.
A proposed expansion would transform the subway system into a fully digitally connected transit network that gives riders the ability to use their mobile devices throughout the entire subway system.
Wi-Fi is currently being enabled on the 800 series articulated buses, with the entire SamTrans fleet expected to be online by February 2022.
MTS could expand the Wi-Fi pilot program if it proves to be successful.
New safety features include more visible rear center brake lights and new side cornering lights to alert pedestrians when a bus is turning.
The system upgrade makes the DART information contactless and viewable from mobile devices through embedded QR code activation.
The system offers advanced features such as high voltage and high current protection, added protection for the antenna, and RF path from catenary line strikes that can destroy electronic devices.
The app improves accessibility information by including a “step-free” mode to access easy-to-navigate views of all stations with street-to-platform accessibility.
The company measured levels from 30,000-plus trains, trams, buses, and coaches across Europe and North America.
