Case Study: Caltrain achieves high-speed onboard broadband and real-time CCTV trials with Nomad Digital

Caltrain - Customer Case Study

Caltrain was looking for a competitive edge for its commuter services in the heart of Silicon Valley and partnered with Nomad Digital to test next‑generation onboard connectivity and operational systems. Nomad Digital ran twin trials to prove the feasibility of a high‑speed broadband rail service and enhanced real‑time operational visibility.

Nomad Digital and its partners deployed a seamless wireless system that let passengers on one line download data at broadband speeds, while on another line they trialled a real‑time CCTV service that allowed drivers to see passengers at upcoming stations. The Nomad Digital trials proved the concept — delivering broadband download capability for riders and live station-side visibility for operators — demonstrating clear improvements in passenger experience and operational awareness.
