ScotRailNew territory0 Comments
Starlink will provide internet access on ScotRail’s Far North Line, between Inverness, Thurso, and Wick, in the Scottish Highlands, through a partnership with Clarus Networks Group, making it the first railway operator in the world to use Starlink for this purpose. Starlink will also monitor train performance and safety systems. Clarus:
This solution offers reliable, high-speed connectivity even in remote locations, supporting real-time monitoring and immediate response crucial for track condition assessments and fault diagnosis. Enhanced safety systems, such as surveillance at unmanned crossings, significantly mitigate risks and improve incident response times.
