Virgin Hyperloop joins forces with RADWIN to implement communications system for its transportation pods

Oct. 15, 2020
RADWIN's radios have been used to transmit vital status information in Virgin Hyperloop's testing to date.

Virgin Hyperloop and RADWIN have announced a joint collaboration to implement advanced wireless communications solutions for high-speed pods. 

RADWIN's FiberinMotion® wireless mobility solution has been used to transmit mission critical information from the ultra-high-speed pods throughout hundreds of tests at their full-scale test site.

"We are building the fifth mode of transportation that will impact travel patterns, economies and transportation as we know it. Every component that we incorporate into our system needs to be the very best, including the radio communications system. We evaluated and tested multiple radio systems for throughput and robustness in extreme conditions and selected RADWIN's FiberinMotion to use throughout our testing rigs and facilities. RADWIN has shown their willingness to adapt their product for the uniqueness of our application and have proven their agility as a trusted partner." 

Nir Hayzler, vice president and head of RADWIN's Strategic Industries Business added, "RADWIN started testing with Virgin Hyperloop about two years ago in their test and safety area in the north of Las Vegas. Using our market-proven train-to-ground solution we demonstrated high throughput, low latency and robust performance for Virgin Hyperloop pods' vital information connectivity. Virgin Hyperloop offers a unique, world changing mode of public transportation, and we are proud to be part of this."
