Tomorrow's connectivity in the civil world
Smart catenaries
IoT for rail safety
The advent of 5G connectivity and the roll-out of the Internet of Things will facilitate real-time supervision and predictive maintenance of overhead lines. Radio networks offer flexible, inexpensive connectivity solutions for IoT communications while providing the cybersecurity protection needed for sensor authentication and to ensure data integrity. This demonstration shows how the data collection chain can be securely and reliably operated thanks to the combination of appropriate communication protocols, end-to-end ciphering, secure certificates and key management.
