Hispasat has implemented a pilot solution for audiovisual services and Internet access on Spain's high-speed trains.
As a part of a larger project announced last week, led by Telefónica, the pilot project began on a train covering the Madrid-Seville route.
The solution offered to Renfe, Spain's public railway company, combines satellite, 3G and 4G connections throughout the train's route.
The pilot service offers live television, a video system that provides real-time information about the trip, and a video server with on-demand films, as well as audio services and a virtual news-stand. It also includes Wi-Fi access that supports more than 400 passengers' connections simultaneously and reaches a wide bandwidth by combining available technology while the train is travelling at 350km/h.
The solution is supported by a gyro-stabilised antenna which allows for permanent connection with the satellite and is attached to the train chassis. Hispasat has developed a specific broadband platform, and capacity from satellites Hispasat 1D and 1E is available for this project.
