Public Transport Funiculur

Problem statement

The client presented us with a unique challenge: to set up a wireless control network that could also be used for PROFIsafe communications. Other potential options, like sliding contacts or power line communication, were not feasible due to the application's complex routing.

Implementation scenario

We provided a wireless network with different segments connected with our instant and seamless roaming features—the main PLC always has a zero-downing low-latency link to the cart of the Funiculur application.

Business impact

Our wireless network solution ensures the public transport system's 24/7 uptime to service passengers in their daily journeys.
