Ondas completes first buildout of 802.16 technology

Ondas (ONDS) Holdings has completed the first buildout of its 802.16 technology operating on the new 900 MHz “A Block” with a large Class I railroad in Chicago. This new deployment continues Ondas’ collaboration with its partner Siemens Mobility to assist rail operators with the transition from legacy systems to cutting-edge 900 MHz wireless communications networks capable of supporting IEEE 802.16 technology. As the first 900 MHz A Block network upgrade by a Class I railroad in Chicago – one of the most complex railroad wireless environments in the country – this achievement demonstrates the continued adoption and maturity of Ondas Networks IEEE 802.16 technology to provide scalable, secure, and ubiquitous in dense, urban rail systems. This latest installation in Chicago includes upgrades to the railroad’s core base station infrastructure, providing a mission-critical backbone to enable future upgrades to additional wayside infrastructure.
