The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to methods and a
system for providing high-speed communications on a high-speed railway. The technical result is a better quality
communication channel provided by
train-to-ground
radio relay links. The claimed
system for providing high-speed communications on a high-speed railway comprises an internal and an
external data exchange network. The internal network unites
tail-end
radio frequency modules mounted in the rear part of a
train and equipped with narrow-band antennae, head-end
radio frequency modules mounted in the front part of the
train and equipped with narrow-band antennae, and switching equipment capable of
processing signals from said modules and of providing network devices connected to said equipment with access to the
external data exchange network. The
external data exchange network unites base stations equipped with narrow-band antennae, said base stations being capable of establishing communication with the
tail-end and head-end
radio frequency modules in the train and being arranged in proximity to the railway clearance along the path of travel of the train. The antennae of the base stations and of the radio frequency modules in the train are configured to radiate radio
waves in a short
millimeter wave band.
