The network will be deployed to provide onboard video surveillance and broadcast of text message to onboard display. The Mumbai metro is a three-line, high capacity subway system spanning 40 miles that is being built in Mumbai. The first phase of the metro is scheduled to be completed in 2010. Firetide mesh nodes will be placed on the trains, as well as along the tracks at intervals of 500m. The system will allow 10Mbps speed between the train and ground nodes at all points of the track at a speed of 50mph, Firetide said. Bo Larsson, CEO of Firetide, said: "Thales Portugal selection of Firetide further demonstrates our leadership in providing wireless mesh infrastructure solutions for highly challenging mobility and real-time video applications in difficult environments. We look forward to working with Thales on this exciting and groundbreaking Mumbai metro wireless system." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
