Redline, Intel and Nomad Digital deploy mobile broadband wireless network for trains in California

Caltrain commuters traveling between San Francisco and San Jose to enjoy WiMAX-quality service via Redline’s robust wireless IP transport products

TORONTO — August 2 , 2006 —Redline Communications, a leading provider of standards-based wireless broadband equipment, today announced that its wireless IP transport products have been successfully deployed by Caltrain, the regional train company serving Silicon Valley, for its WiMAX network project in California, which will deliver high-speed Internet connectivity to commuters. The project is being supported by Redline, Intel, and Nomad Digital, a UK-based wireless connectivity services company.

Caltrain is the first in the United States to successfully complete a “Proof of Concept” that provides continuous high-speed Internet access via wireless broadband over sixteen miles at travel speeds of up to 79 miles per hour. While other rail lines have provided wireless Internet access, Redline’s wireless IP transport products will deliver WiMAX performance for commuters traveling through this busy tech corridor.

“Caltrain invested a significant amount of time researching technology solutions that could deliver reliable and robust high-speed wireless Internet access,” said Michael J. Scanlon, Executive Director, Caltrain. “Caltrain continually looks for ways to improve its passengers’ experience so it sought a solution that would give its customers uninterrupted broadband wireless access onboard our moving trains.”

The proof of concept was conducted between the Millbrae and Palo Alto stations in California, enabling multiple passengers to use the wireless service simultaneously for high-bandwidth applications including streaming video and large file downloads, as well as e-mail and Internet usage, while traveling at high speeds.  The broadband connections were supported by Redline’s AN-50e wireless IP transport products, which were deployed along the 16-mile corridor between San Francisco and San Jose, forming the country’s most advanced WiMAX-quality transportation communications network.

“Running from San Francisco through the heart of Silicon Valley, Caltrain customers are very tech savvy and commute to well-known hi-tech and bio-tech companies, as well as world-class universities,” said Dr. Nigel Wallbridge, co-founder and Chairman, Nomad Digital.  “With their new WiMAX-based broadband network, Caltrain can effortlessly deliver reliable broadband to their busy commuter trains and the sophisticated travelers onboard, and attract new commuters with this valuable service.”

“The Caltrain project clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of Redline’s wireless IP transport solutions for demanding and complex transportation networks,” said Kevin Suitor, Vice President of Business Development, Redline Communications. “With the proof of concept successfully completed, Caltrain is now well positioned to roll out the revenue generating mobile WiMAX-based services and applications their customers need.”

Redline’s Wireless IP transport products
The AN-50e is part of Redline’s full suite of advanced wireless IP transport products for backhaul and access applications. Redline's high speed wireless AN-50e Ethernet bridge operates in the license exempt 5.470 - 5.725 GHz and 5.725 - 5.825 GHz bands and is configured for point-to-point (PTP) operation, with point-to- multipoint (PMP) operation capabilities. Accommodating backhaul and access functions, the AN-50e is the industry's first true high performance, high capacity, multi-services OFDM platform. The AN-50e system delivers an over-the-air rate of up to 72 Mbps, equivalent to 49 Mbps at the Ethernet level. With a robust non line-of-sight (NLOS) capability, long IF cable support for tower and high rise installations, audible antenna alignment and diagnostic capabilities for Ethernet and wireless, the AN-50e addresses the most challenging deployment scenarios through simplified installation and support.
