High-Speed Connectivity: Internet Access on Tallus Red Trains

The video discusses the integration of satellite technology to provide internet access on high-speed trains across Europe. The European Space Agency, in collaboration with 21 Net, is testing a system that maintains a continuous internet connection via a satellite tracking antenna on the train. This allows commuters to perform office tasks while traveling. Tallus plans to expand this technology to all its trains by 2006, aiming to create a multimedia wireless environment. The project also supports train management and promotes broadband development across Europe's railway network.
