Save the Date - Next Year’s WiFi on Trains Conference – Details Announced
(26 Nov 2019, BWCS Staff)BWCS has announced that next year’s WiFi on Trains Conference - TrainComms2020 - will take place on June the 10th and 11th.
Already, the consultancy has signed up train operators from around the world to give their first-hand accounts of adding and upgrading WiFi services on their trains. There are more details on the brand-new website www.Traincomms.com
“We’ve been heavily involved in this sector during this year, in particular”, reports Ross Parsons head of Transport at BWCS, “Both in consultancy and via launching and updating the online market database www.Internet4trains.com . We’ve witnessed some really exciting new services emerge – all of these will feature heavily at next year’s Conference.”
As investment in new WiFi on trains makes headlines, interest in this sector and this very niche Conference is growing. Increasingly, governments in Europe and across the globe are moving to encourage mobile network operators to offer better coverage along rail tracks and BWCS has been involved in some of these schemes. This backing, along with other trackside developments, is helping bridge the gap between passenger expectation of WiFi services and the, sometimes, harsh reality.
The leading and most innovative train operators involved in these new services have already signed up to speak at next year’s event, which will be held in Central London. As Parsons put it, “Several speakers have described our event as a kind of 'self-help' group for the companies trying to improve WiFi and other wirelessly connected on-board services, with new speakers and services emerging all the time.”
As ever, places at Traincomms2020 are extremely limited and tickets are already being snapped up now via www.Traincomms.com . Get in touch now to reserve your spot via info@BWCS.com or Ross.Parsons@BWCS.com or use the form at www.Traincomms.com
