Central Railway Pilots Optical Ground Wire for Improved Connectivity

Central Railway Pilots Optical Ground Wire for Improved Connectivity

Imagine train tracks with special cables that carry both electricity and super-fast internet.

The Central Railway is trying out this new technology, called Optical Ground Wire, to make trains safer and provide better internet for passengers.

This cable will help with things like the anti-collision system and faster internet.

The railway can also rent out the extra internet capacity to other companies, which could bring in a lot of money.

If it works well, the railway plans to use this technology everywhere to make travel safer and more connected for everyone.
