The Necessity of Wi-Fi Connectivity in Metro Systems

Summary

Modern metro systems are no longer just about moving people, they are about moving data. The Mauritius Metro has embraced this paradigm shift by deploying a high-performance Wi-Fi and Network Management System (NMS) across its depot infrastructure. This solution ensures seamless wireless connectivity between Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) and the central FTP server for critical daily data transfers, including CCTV footage and operational logs. By implementing robust Wi-Fi 6 Access Points and centralized network monitoring via cNMS, Mauritius Metro has achieved a reliable, secure, and scalable data infrastructure that aligns with global best practices in transit innovation.
