Cisco Connected Rail

Improve Safety and Operations While Increasing Ridership

Cisco Connected Rail solutions help you achieve a wide range of safety, mobility, and efficiency objectives:

• Keep passengers and employees safe
• Provide onboard passenger Wi-Fi, entertainment, live scheduling, high-speed voice and video, and more
  
• Converge multiple networks into a single IP network for greater interoperability, improved communications, simplified management, and lower costs
• Meet governmental and industrial safety compliance requirements

As rail operators like you introduce new business models and value-added services to increase ridership, you can count on Cisco to deploy highly secure, flexible IP networks. Our ruggedized routers, switches, access points, and video cameras are being deployed at trackside, in stations, and on trains.

Cisco Transportation Smart Solution for Rail

Cisco Transportation Smart Solution (TSS) for Rail is the underlying architecture for a set of highly secure validated network designs. Our building-block approach means you can start with any combination of solutions, and add others later. Validated network designs minimize deployment risk and speed time to market.

TSS includes Cisco and third-party network products, and Cisco Services designed specifically for rail and mass transit. Today, TSS includes Cisco Connected Rail and Premium Mobile Broadband.
