INTRODUCTION
Siemens' system of frequency agnostic (software-defined) wireless base stations, fixed and
mobile remote radios are based on IEEE 802.16s (the standard for broadband, wireless,
fixed/mobile access systems) that enables wide-area, Internet Protocol connectivity. This allows
railroads to transition from multiple, single-purpose networks to a common, managed, multi-
purpose/multi-band network and realize a significant reduction of infrastructure and operating
costs.
