ORLAND PARK, Ill.-Andrew Corp.’s wireless and in-building products group has developed a multi-band wireless infrastructure that gives commuters wireless phone reception in the 30 tunnels along the new Inter-City Express (ICE) high-speed rail link between Frankfurt and Cologne.
Andrew’s RADIAX RCT7-CPUS-2-RN radiating coaxial cable radiates and receives wireless signals, supporting mobile communications in the tunnels. Andrew’s technology has also been used in the U.S. for the Lincoln and Holland Road Tunnels, the Washington Metro and Amtrak’s New York-Boston line; in China for the Guanghzou Metro and in tunnels on the Kowloon-Canton Railway; and the company in currently working on an application for Berlin’s S-Bahn City Railway.
