• Based on Raysat ERR 70000
• Modifications for complying with both the railroad gauge and the
electromagnetic interferences. Improvement of radome’s aerodynamics.
• Simple and easy on-board installation without the need of important
modifications on the coach. No long periods of train immobilization
required.
• Lightweight antenna solution avoiding coach reinforcement works.
• Single solution for all type of trains easily adaptable to each coach
profile.
• To be used in commercial trains during 2016.
