Chapter1:Introduction
1.1ScopeofthisDocument
ThispublicationshowshowtoinstallandoperateRADWIN’sTransportationFiberinMotion
(FiberinMotionorFinM)solution.
Thispublicationisaddressedprimarilytosystemintegratorsaswellasinstallingtechnicians.
1.2TransportationFiberinMotionOverview
TransportationFiberinMotionisatrain‐to‐waysidecommunicationssolutionthatensures
continuoushigh‐speedwirelessconnectivitybetweentherollingstock,thetracksandcontrol
center.
TheTransportationFiberinMotionsystemconsistsofpowerfulbasestationsdeployedalong
thetracksthatconnecttomobileunitsinstalledonboardtherollingstock.Thesolution
operatesinchallengingoutdoorconditionsandundergroundtunnels.

AFiberinMotionsolutionworksasfollows:
•TBS(TransportationBaseStation)unitsareinstalledonpolesorwallseitheroutdoorsor
inatunnel,andareequippedwithantennas(usually4),
•TheTBSunitscommunicatewiththebackhaulnetworkviaaPoEdeviceorfiber,
•TheTBSunitstransmitto/receivefromTMUs(TransportationMobileUnits)installedon
boardrollingstock(alsoequippedwithantennasfortheTMUs),andlocatedwithinthe
beamoftheTBSantennas,
•TheTMUradios,alsopoweredbyPoEdevices,providecommunicationconnectionsfor
on‐boardequipmentsuchasroutersandWiFidevices.
