ABOUT US
L2M has built innovative solutions/products based on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for railways such as Cyber Signaling System (CSS), Axle Counter Plus (ACP), Wheel Impact Load Detection (WILD) etc. It is needless to say that our solutions/products perform at their best on the 5G communication network. We are ready with the required setup to experiment 5G as part of our Innovations.
RAILWAY OPERATIONS OVER 5G
The 5G revolution is already here. The Department of Telecommunications (DOT), Government of India, has established a “5G testbed” in 2018 with a budget of about Rs. 220 crores in the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, along with other institutions. Its goal is not just to develop and test new technologies within the country but also to train students and work closely with companies to plug in their solutions. The 5G testbed at IISc will create a 5G prototype and testing platform for developing innovative baseband algorithms under the guidance of the faculty of the Department of Electrical Communication Engineering (ECE) at IISc.One of the technologies driving 5G, which is being explored at IISc, is called massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output). IISc is also building hardware that can work in 5G frequencies. We are fortunate to be associated with IISc and have access to all the facilities at IISc.
WHAT 5G CAN OFFER TO RAILWAYS
As worldwide demand to travel by rail continues to grow, today’s current communication systems cannot provide adequate services to satisfy both passengers and rail operators. In order to control the railway operations and signalling and for predictive and perspective maintenance of rolling stock and infrastructure, there is a need for high speed and high-quality communication.
​
Fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications promise to shape the future of the railways by offering secure and reliable communications that result in ultra-low latency.5G is not just about providing more bandwidth to users – it is also designed for industrial uses, especially automation and sensor communications. 5G offers the best communication platform, which enables connectivity between a variety of end devices, including monitoring devices and computational resources, through a heterogeneous adaptable network infrastructure.
