In Germany, the average travel distance for short-distance passenger rail is 20 kilometres (Railway Market Analysis Germany 2021). For most passengers, this is not enough time to stream an entire film or TV show before they reach their destination. However, this duration is perfect for commuters looking to tune in to a local radio station, especially for those travelling to and from rural areas where local broadcasting remains popular.

The world is changing, and rail operators need to change with the times. Passengers demand the same connectivity they enjoy at home and work when traveling by train, and operators realize that they need to match these expectations to remain relevant in a competitive market. Fiber optic (FO) cabling systems are an ideal solution, but to date, the sector has been slow to adopt the technology. The rail industry is by nature conservative and risk-averse. Before it embraces new technology, it must be tested and proven mature enough to meet the sector’s needs.
