AB4Rail participants presented preliminary results of the project to X2Rail partners. Anna Maria Vegni (Radiolabs) showed candidates for alternative communication bearers that can be considered in rail applications in terms of Wireless Optics (Visible Light Communications, Free Space Optics), Power Line Communications, Internet of Things (IoT) both for Short Range (i.e., Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, UWB) and Long Range (i.e., Low Power Wide Area Network), High Altitude Platform System (HAPS), Novel Sat LEO constellations and Future technologies (Quantum communications and THz communications).
