A Icomera Case Study
West Midlands 5G launches the UK’s first 5G-connected tram with Icomera
Icomera collaborated with West Midlands 5G (WM5G), a multi-million-pound regional programme, to address the challenge of testing, proving, and scaling new 5G products and services for public transport. The goal was to enhance the mobility experience for local communities and make transit more efficient and attractive.
The solution involved Icomera and its subsidiaries DG8 and GoMedia implementing the UK's first 5G-connected tram, using the Icomera X5 Advanced Gateway. This enabled trials of live video surveillance, real-time passenger feedback, and an accessibility solution for visually impaired travelers. Icomera's work demonstrated tangible 5G benefits, including faster data transmission for security, actionable passenger insights, and improved journey accessibility, paving the way for more cost-effective and passenger-centric transport services.
