Revolutionizing Train-to-Ground Communication

The PPC-10G-Rail system, operating in the 70-80 GHz band, received widespread attention for its ability to deliver a bandwidth of an average of 10 Gbps — ten times faster than alternative technologies such as 5G, trackside 5 GHz networks, and even Starlink SpaceX, which typically provide 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps. This game-changing technology is set to revolutionize railway communication by providing:

  • 10x faster video surveillance from the driver’s cabin, offering real-time, high-definition monitoring.
  • Seamless internet access for all passengers, with speeds sufficient for all onboard, not just those with VIP access, ensures a smoother, more connected travel experience.

With its high capacity, PPC-10G-Rail enables reliable, large-scale data transfer between trains and ground infrastructure, improving operational safety, enhancing real-time communication, and supporting advanced services for operators and passengers.

Key Highlights from the ELVA-1 Booth

In addition to PPC-10G-Rail ELVA-1 showcased several other cutting-edge solutions that attracted attention throughout the event:

MobiBridge 10G short distance 10 Gbps 60 GHz wireless Ethernet link

  1. MobiBridge-10G — 10-Gigabit Wireless Communication System in the 60 GHz Band for Public Transport.
    This solution is designed for rapid data exchange at stops and depots, enabling quick upload and download of information from buses and trams with minimal delays. MobiBridge-10G is perfectly suited for integration into modern smart city systems.
  2. SDM360-76 — High-Precision Marine Radar with Zero Blind Zone in the 76 GHz Band.
    This innovative radar is intended for use on unmanned vessels and ships, as well as for monitoring port waters. The SDM360-76 technology delivers maximum accuracy and reliability even in the most challenging weather conditions, contributing to the safety of maritime operations.
  3. Advanced radar systems for rail, airport, and highway safety, including FOD radar and radar systems to detect obstacles in adverse weather.

InnoTrans, held every two years in Berlin, is one of the largest global events in the transportation industry, bringing together key players and innovators. ELVA-1’s booth successfully conveyed the significance of its contributions to modern transportation, with attendees experiencing the company’s most advanced products in a dynamic exhibition atmosphere.

Accompanied by a gallery of photos capturing the excitement and energy of InnoTrans, the post-event coverage highlights the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of wireless communication and radar technologies.

Additional Products and Technologies at ELVA-1 Booth

In addition to the key exhibits, ELVA-1 promouted other products, including:

  • FOD Radar — designed to detect foreign objects on airport runways, enhancing flight safety by identifying potentially hazardous debris.
  • PPC-10G-E — a point-to-point communication system with a 10 Gbps data rate in the 70-80 GHz band, which can also be used as part of a mesh network to create high-speed wireless infrastructures.
  • Radar systems for rail transport, assist in shunting operations and ensure train safety by detecting obstacles in all weather conditions.
  • Highway Surface Monitoring Radar — designed to detect fallen cargo on highways, enhancing road safety.
