5 Mobile communications (LTE, UMTS, GSM) Mobile communications anytime and everywhere belong to our daily life and are indispensable for a comfortable train journey. It is becoming increasingly important for network operators to be able to reliably link their train systems to existing mobile communication networks and to connect the rolling stock equipment to their IT infrastructure. Train security and radio systems (GSM-R, TETRA) In addition to train control via GSM-R there is increasig demand for security of passengers and operational staff. This is accomplished by integration of Tetra. Wireless backhaul (WiFi, WiMAX) WiFi is not just an interesting alternative to GSM-R in the underground and metropolitan railway sector, but is also frequently used for high-speed data transfer between the train and track. SENCITY Rail Excel bidirectional antennas permit larger distances between the track base stations in the WiFi 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz and WiMAX / LTE band range. Satellite navigation Satellite positioning of trains using GPS is commonly used. For this reason SENCITY Rail antennas are available with a GPS antenna with integrated low-noise amplifier. The GPS option is supplied with a separate pigtail solution. HUBER+SUHNER Train-to-shore communication 5

14 Cable assemblies for railway applications The jumper-feeder-jumper principle The ideal connection between the antenna and the active component involves our halogen-free, RoHS compliant cables, which meet DIN and pren fire safety standards. The jumper feeder jumper cable combination makes optimum use of the specific flexibility and attenuation properties of both types of cable. Jumper cables Thin, flexible cables which can be used for narrow radiuses but which feature a higher level of attenuation. Ideally suitable for connecting antennas or components. Feeder cables Low-loss cables for covering larger distances.

15 Advanced installation options Installation on metallic roof Installation takes place directly on the metal roof of the train. This ensures perfect sealing and grounding (high voltage protection) and is provided by means of the base plate on the roof of the train. Installation on plastic roofs The antennas can be installed directly onto non-metallic train roofs so that a perfect seal is assured. Grounding is provided through a copper bus bar attached to the base plate of antenna by means of the SENCITY Rail grounding kit (Product type ). Installation on metal support The antenna can also be installed on a metal support. Grounding is provided by the metal support and sealing is assured via the SENCITY Rail conduit support kit (Product type ). The cable entry is protected by a conduit system from any third party supplier with an M40 x 1.5 mm thread. Installation on non-metal support The antenna can also be installed on a non-metal support using the SENCITY Rail grounding kit (Product type ) and SENCITY Rail conduit support kit (Product type ) in combination with a conduit system from any third party supplier. Installation on a low profile antenna footprint Upgrading to a wider bandwidth (up to MHz) is simple. By use of an adaptor plate (Product type ), a SENCITY Rail high performance antenna can be installed easily on a low profile antenna footprint. The adaptor plate ensures optimum antenna performance and grounding of the antenna installation. MIMO/Diversity upgrade on a low profile antenna footprint Two SENCITY Rail High performance antennas can be installed on a single low profile footprint using a SENCITY Rail MIMO adaptor (Product type ). The adaptor ensures optimum antenna performance and grounding as well as isolation between the two antennas. HUBER+SUHNER Train-to-shore communication 15
