Icomera, a subsidiary of EQUANS, has partnered with Amtrak on behalf of the Amtrak Midwest states (Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin) to keep Midwest service trains digitally connected throughout the journey and enhance the passenger experience.
Icomera was selected by Amtrak to install, maintain and monitor onboard mobile internet service for 88 new Siemens Venture single-level passenger cars, which are jointly owned by the Midwest states and will be operated and contracted by Amtrak.
Amtrak Midwest boasts eight intercity passenger rail corridors that make connections to 67 Amtrak stations across the region. Icomera says it continues to grow its direct partner role with Amtrak Statewide Partners across the United States to fulfill statewide technology initiatives.
This project marks an expansion of the relationship with Icomera and Amtrak, which began in 2015, as one of the first North American customers to host the mobile connectivity platform on board a moving vehicle.
