GNER honoured with “Innovation of the Year”

September 5th, 2007, Göteborg

The Great North Eastern Railroad, GNER, have cooperated with Icomera to enhance the Wi-Fi service on their trains on the London-Edinburgh route; starting with passenger internet access in commercial operation since 2004, and recently adding advanced staff communication and fleet management applications.

Although more than 10,000 passengers use GNER’s Wi-Fi service every week, this is not where the company sees the largest potential from having their 50 trains connected on-line. Far more can be gained from e.g. remote monitoring of vital systems, having staff PDA:s communicating within the regular office network, doing payment authentication on on-line, etc.

Icomera delivers turnkey client-server based solutions for Wi-Fi on trains that give not only passenger access, but also a platform for staff communication and fleet management applications. As train companies start realising the many benefits of a central internet-based communications system, the demand for Icomera’s products and services is expected to increase sharply in the next few years.
