The company initially deployed VectaStar across 15 railway stations, providing a carrier-grade network using CBNL’s PMP millimetre wave technology to deliver the organisation’s security and surveillance system.

The carrier-grade network service costs up to 50% less than legacy point-to-point or fibre technology.

CBNL CEO Lionel Chmilewsky said: “ProRail is benefiting from a VectaStar network that offers sub-millisecond latency, up to 600Mbps capacity and dedicated bandwidth for a highly secure service.

“The fact these advantages can be delivered at a fraction of the cost compared to alternative technologies is causing more and more network operators to deploy the technology, a trend we expect to grow significantly over the coming years.”
