Common Business Models To Acquire A Private Network
Owner Operated Network Model Managed Service Model
• Traditional government / large industry project • Owner and Network company collaborate on
design/build
• CAPEX-intensive
• Network is Owner’s asset
• End user operates system
• Network company operates network and is
paid a fee for service
Concession Model
• Owner retains title to trains, right of way
• Network company brings capital and
expertise; owns the network; gets to monetize
• Negotiates lease payment, rev share,
minimum- viable service; offers ‘anchor
tenancy’

Design To Requirements
This training module will teach you how to design Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul networks for the following
transportation environments:
• Fast Roaming
• High Throughput
Main Track: • Make before Break
• Ultra-High Availability
• Load Balancing
• Prioritization
Depot: • Multi-Frequency
• Auto-sensing
• Inter-car ad-hoc
bridging
Consist • Loopback protection
• Association threshold
• Shuffling Algorithm
Main Track
• Main track coverage varies between projects.
• Radio coverage is dependent on track curvature.
• Typical radio interval spacing varies from 500 to 3,000
meters, based on RSSI requirements.
• Typically, train density is low per trackside area (in the
region of one to two trains).
• Track distances can span between tens and hundreds of
miles.
• Understand coverage requirements:
• Complete coverage
• Redundant coverage
Depots And Yards
• Depots are characterized as areas with high train
density.
• Train density and average throughput per train must be
taken into account.
• Typically, many trackside radios are installed to
effectively manage train density using load-balancing
configurations.
• Depots are typically no larger than 1 to 2 km long.
• Can range from 1 or 2 tracks wide to 15 or 20 tracks
wide.
• Depot density can range from a few vehicles to
hundreds.
• Train depots never stop moving, and are highly
dynamic environments.
Inter-car
• Inter-car systems provide connectivity that connects two or

more train cars together.
• Inter-car can also interconnect the train’s vehicle network
sub-systems. Sub-system traffic includes:
• CBTC
• CCTV
• VoIP
• Wi-Fi backhaul
• Ethernet train data
• Fluidity vehicle radios
• Loopback protection, association threshold, and car-shuffling
are taken into account when enabling inter-car configurations.
• No wires between cars to enable communications.
Learning Goals
By the end of this presentation, you will know how to:
Identify and select Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul products and services for Train-to-
Ground (T2G) requirements.
Design networks for a Main-Line, Depot, or Inter-Car transportation environments.
Interpret network performance KPIs and RF installation best practices.
Understand the different configuration parameters for the network.
How to commission and roll out an Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul network.
How to maintain an Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul system after commissioning.
Main Track And Depot Fluidity Applications
• Network design for T2G covers three network areas: Core, Trackside, and Vehicle.
• The Core network contains gateway devices acting as MPLS label edge routers.
• Trackside radios connect directly to a stable trackside wired network through copper or fiber, and are networked
or routed back to gateway devices.
• Vehicle radios wirelessly connect to the Trackside radios to enable train-to-ground communication.

Product Selection Checklist
Transportation certifications:
❑ Does the equipment need to meet EN or IEC requirements for shock and vibration? The answer to
this question is likely associated with vehicle onboard communication requirements, and sometimes
with trackside requirements as well.
Network requirements:
❑ Maximum throughput is 150 Mbps for x200 radios and 500 Mbps for x500 radios.
❑ Is there a need for narrow-band (5-10 MHz), wide-band (20-40 MHz), or ultra-wideband (80 MHz)
channels?
❑ Is the spacing between the trackside radios and network switches greater than 300 ft (bringing a
need for 4x00 FIBER radios)?
❑ What is the total T2G network throughput?
• At less than 250 Mbps, x200 radios can be used.
• Between 250 and 600 Mbps, x500 radios must be used,
• At less than 1 Gbps, FM1000 gateways can be used.
• Between 1 and 10 Gbps, FM10000 gateways must be used.
Inter-car networking requirements:
❑ Is there an opportunity or need for Inter-car communications?
❑ Maximum throughput is 150 Mbps for x200 radios, or 500 Mbps for x500 radios.
Vehicle installation requirements:
❑ Is there enough installation room on the roof of the vehicle for a roof-mounted (FM-SHARK)
antenna?
❑ If ‘No’, are there overhead installation locations at the ends of the vehicles within the car body?
Vital or non-vital communications requirements:
❑ Is there a need for redundancy at a centralized location?
❑ Is there a need for redundancy aboard the train?
❑ Is there overlapping or secondary RF coverage at trackside?
Project details:
❑ Do you have track layout information or a relevant Google Earth *.KMZ file?
❑ Do you have vehicle layout and construction drawings?
❑ Do you have information detailing the network layout between the central control area and station/track
coverage areas?
❑ Who are the responsible project stakeholders – for example, the integrator, end-user, or leasing party?
Core Gateway / Bandwidth Aggregation Devices
• Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul gateways are the aggregation points for all MPLS
communications on a T2G system.
• Gateways can also be thought of as MPLS label edge routers (LERs) on the wayside network.
• Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul Gateways are rugged, industrial grade network appliances that
make setup and management of medium and large-scale Fluidity systems fast and easy.
• Gateways allow the Fluidity wireless infrastructure to scale to hundreds of radio devices, without
impacting the performance of the overall network.

Vehicle Antenna Selection
(Design Checklist)
The following checklist determines what antenna type must be used on a vehicle:
❑ Is the chosen antenna placement location on the vehicle’s roof, or inside the vehicle body?
• If roof: uni- or bi-directional antennas.
• If body: uni-directional antenna (avoids RF back-lobe reflections).
• Take additional RF attenuation caused by vehicle body into consideration for Link Budget calculation/measurement
❑ Is the application a metro or subway line?
• The SHARK-14 or SHARK-DUAL-13 are normally used in these applications.
❑ Is the application a high speed rail line?
• The high-profile, uni-directional SHARK-16 is favored for this application.
• SHARK-16 has higher gain, increasing trackside radio spacing and reducing overall cost.
❑ Is inter-car bridging being used between two T2G vehicle radios?
• On-board radio co-ordination can be enabled between Master and Slave T2G radios using trainline Ethernet.
• If the train is a married consist (in other words, the same locomotives and train cars are always kept together),
unidirectional antennas can be used at each end of the train.
• This arrangement is more economical, as it maximizes distance between the trackside radios.
• The vehicle radio with the highest RSSI will link to the closest trackside radio, based on RF KPIs and configuration.
• Longer trains can take advantage of greater physical separation between trackside antennas.

Maintaining the system throughout its lifetime.
Spares
• Experience in the field and/or through project requirements suggests
that spares are usually needed to support network deployment.
• Usually, 5-10% of the total ordered quantity of each hardware part is
needed, depending on project requirements.
• In case of unexpected failure or damage to any hardware, the failed
part can immediately be replaced with available stock.
• If the failure is covered under warranty, a replacement part can be
