HyperloopTT Connects with Icomera for Wireless Communications
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT) announced today an agreement with leading public transportation Internet connectivity provider, Icomera. Under the agreement, Icomera will be HyperloopTT's official digital partner, equipment supplier, and systems integrator for its wireless capsule-to-ground communications.
As passengers travel at airplane speeds on the ground, Icomera's industry-leading connectivity platform will enable Internet connectivity for passengers who wish to be productive or entertained while they travel, as well as providing critical and secure communications functions, such as interfacing with embedded capsule sensors.
HyperloopTT engineers will work alongside Icomera to deploy Icomera's cutting-edge TraXside™ solution. Icomera TraXside™ is a radio and fiber network with dedicated antennas placed at intervals along the HyperloopTT system. Icomera hardware in HyperloopTT capsules will deliver gigabit bandwidth to each capsule, equivalent to passengers streaming over 10,000 songs or 200 HD films concurrently. Phase 1 of Icomera TraXside™ testing for Hyperloop transport is set to take place in Toulouse, France, in Q1-Q2 2021.
