First Group have invested heavily to solve the long

standing trackside-to-train communications for a

connected customer experience from station-to-

station

This is not just about calls but a creating a home or

work like experience, where even on the busiest

trains customers can enjoy being fully connected.



Mobile versus Ultrafast

2G

3G (500kbps)

4G (12Mbps)On-train throughput: <2Mbps

3

4G/LTE-A (~50Mbps)

5G (~200Mbps)

Ultrafast/5G’esque

On-train throughput >1Gbps

We need ~150Mbps as

FOC for customer Wi-Fi

and train data. So, could

have >>500Mbps available

for top-up, NR, etc!

‘Overage’

‘Overage’ presents an opportunity to not only delight customers but engage a wider

market to making a step change in rail travel:

7

▪ The TOC will require bandwidth for its customer

obligation to offer 50Mb/customer per day FOC

▪ Customer are highly likely to top-up. This may be

direct at cost or via their MNO, Sky or other

package, if they have secured that bandwidth to

offer it FOC to their customers. Or, other services

have bought the capacity to server the captured

audience

▪ There are many potential customer groups, e.g.

BTP/CCTV, NR, Mobile Operators, etc.

DALI Programme

The Dali Programme was born out of years of mmWave development to trial it in trackside-to-

train backhaul delivery with the aim of deliver an exceptional Customer Experience (CX) through

Ultrafast Wi-Fi.

This has so far proven, at Network Rail’s test track, that mmWave can successfully deliver

Ultrafast Wi-Fi. However, Dali is about the total solution at is at a TRL Level 7/8 now, and will be

at 8/9 by the time we deliver SWR.
