Hitachi Rail's 5G Revolutionizes Urban Transport in NYC & Hong Kong
Hitachi Rail is revolutionising urban transport with 5G. It's replacing old radio tech on New York's Crosstown Line and Hong Kong's Airport's Automatic People Mover. The company's managing director, Ziad Rizk, hails this as a 'game changer' for urban rail.
Hitachi's SelTrac CBTC system uses 5G for train-to-ground communication, boosting capacity, safety, and reliability. This advanced signalling system is already transforming cities like London and Milan. The shift to 5G reduces lifecycle costs and enhances data analytics, making train operations more efficient.
The deployment of 5G on these critical transport lines allows for better traffic management, improving passenger experience and reducing wait times. It's a significant step towards smarter, more connected cities.
Hitachi Rail's 5G signalling is set to transform urban transport worldwide. With successful implementations in New York, Hong Kong, London, and Milan, it's clear that this technology is the future of urban rail. By enhancing safety, capacity, and efficiency, 5G is set to revolutionise the way we travel in cities.
