Case Study: Avanti West Coast achieves reliable onboard WiFi with Pelion

Avanti West Coast streamlines onboard WiFi with Pelion in 1 month

Avanti West Coast, a UK train operator, faced challenges managing the complex connectivity for its onboard WiFi across a fleet of over 70 trains. They were juggling multiple network providers with separate billing systems, leading to inefficiency. To consolidate their SIM estate, they partnered with connectivity vendor Pelion for its managed IoT connectivity services.

Pelion implemented its IoT platform, providing reliable 4G connectivity across multiple networks through a single management portal. This solution streamlined operations with simplified billing and full visibility into data usage. The result was a rapid deployment within one month and the ability to effectively manage over 70TB of monthly data. Pelion’s flexible solution also empowered Avanti’s critical onboard systems and provided a foundation for future 5G expansion.
