Now Russian railways use LTE technology in cooperation with mobile operators. In addition, the company Moscow and St. He tested Radio Ethernet, which is tested on the site between St. Petersburg. There, it was possible to reach a speed up to 600 Mbit/S on a train. The aim of the company is to provide the Internet at a speed of 1 GB/s, especially on high -speed routes.
In order to reach such a level, Russian railways plan to use not only ground technologies, but also satellite communication. In laboratories, equipment tests to be tested directly on the trains have already begun. The key step will be a launch of a low orbit satellite group, and then the internet will begin to be introduced on routes.
However, existing restrictions are due to the economic focusing of mobile operators in economicly profitable directions. Therefore, Russian railways emphasizes the need for joint work of states, operators and technology developers.
