San Diego Train Line Installs Strix Wireless System

The North County Transit District of San Diego installed indoor and outdoor wireless networks from Strix Systems, the company announced. The wireless networks provide real-time mobile communications for the district’s Coaster rail line, the second most traveled rail line in the U.S. Railways and transportation are a strategic market for wireless mesh networks, said Nan Chen, vice president of product management and marketing for Calabasas-based Strix. The Strix wireless systems will be used for remote video surveillance inside the trains and the surrounding track to improve safety; and for encrypted railway communications to secure stations, tracks, bridges and tunnels. The system is solar powered to provide connections 24/7 uptime and emergency backup. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security funded the wireless system.
