We’re excited to be running live trials with partners Eutelsat OneWeb and Icomera to demonstrate how integrated low-earth orbit satellite and terrestrial communications networks can provide seamless, low latency broadband connectivity on Britain’s rail network. The pilot aims to demonstrate how constellations of communication satellites can seamlessly fill gaps in terrestrial coverage and provide additional capacity in a cost-effective way. The trial, which is connected to the of Satellites for Digitalisation of Railways project supported by the European Space Agency - ESA and UK Space Agency, will support the evolution of rail transport through access to uninterrupted real-time communications systems that could improve passenger experience, enhance safety and increase automation.

Interesting, will trial results be published or is pilot available for visiting?
Fantastic work. The results are coming in and they are very impressive. Well done team!
Well. Lil’ ol’ NYMR goes all space age - this is mental!! I’m a fan of that brilliant restoration between Pickering and Whitby. Wish I’d known this was underway - would’ve happily volunteered to grab my laptop and phone and be a test user 😍 Good luck to all and looking forward to hearing the results. PS let me know if I can help!
This could be a game changer!
It's good to see this initiative coming to fruition. I look forward to see the results
Great to see the progress on this to improve our train journeys #wearecgi #CGIUK #rail
Trial has been going extremely well so far, thanks to the CGI team and our partners!
