Wednesday, Aug 18, 2010

At InnoTrans 2010, to be held from 21 until 24 September 2010 in Berlin, Belden will demonstrate a range of seamless signal transmission solutions for mass transport systems. These include solutions for passenger safety and comfort, security of rolling stock, terminals and infrastructure, and the efficient flow of traffic through real-time information and control in challenging environments.

Visitors to the Belden booth (Hall 13 / 14.1, Stand 3201) will be able to see how Belden supports the latest technology trends. With Industrial Ethernet as the new standard for Multimediabus applications such as passenger information, passenger counting and video surveillance, Belden will demonstrate how Ethernet is able to further passenger comfort services.

A strong need for increased bandwidth demands means that Gigabit Ethernet on trains is a major need for the railway industry.
