A Standard Designed for
Mission-Critical Industries

The 802.16t standard is specifically tailored for mission-critical industries using narrowband channels, offering secure, reliable communications on private networks. ​

Use Any Spectrum for Any Application

802.16t is a frequency-agnostic standard, enabling the deployment of high-speed, general-purpose applications across 160 MHz, 220 MHz,  450 MHz, 900 MHz, and other privately-owned frequencies.​​

High Throughput Over Narrowband Channels

802.16t technology employs channel aggregation, advanced modulation schedules, and dynamic traffic management to transform any low throughput legacy network to a high-speed, secure general purpose network.

General Purpose IP Networks for Narrowband Channels

Do More With Your Existing Spectrum

Purpose-built networks often limit an industry ability to deploy new applications over existing spectrum assets. Ondas radios - built to the 802.16t standard - transform these limitations by enabling multiple safety and non-critical communications on the same frequency bands. With Ondas radio technology, you can optimize your existing spectrum for general-purpose applications and eliminate the need to purchase costly new frequencies.

The Backbone of Scalable Mission-Critical Connectivity

"Having an updated 802.16t network means we can streamline operations, improve reliability, and support new applications without overhauling our existing infrastructure. It's a game-changer for scaling mission-critical systems."

Alex R., Rail Systems Engineer

Extend Your Corporate IP Network to the Edge of Your Train Control System

Ubiquitous Connectivity Anywhere

Ondas 802.16t-compliant radios enable seamless transport of general-purpose IP messages from back offices to field assets such as control points, defect detectors, and crossings. By leveraging advanced modulations and superior radio sensitivity, railroads can extend IP connectivity across existing frequencies while avoiding recurring cellular or satellite charges.

Leverage Your PTC Investment With 802.16t

Improve Network Reliability and Availability

802.16t networks can transport Interoperable Train Control Messaging (ITCM) and provide alternative, frequency diverse paths to the 220 MHz radio network to increase redundancy and availability. By eliminating single points of failure in CTC and PTC applications, Ondas radios enhance system reliability and boost your return on PTC investments.

Migrate New Applications to the 900 MHz A Block Seamlessly

New Spectrum to Support Advanced Safety Applications

The 900 MHz “A Block” offers 70% more spectrum than legacy ATCS frequencies, enabling deployment of new safety and business applications on private frequency bands. Ondas radios' dual-band capability allows for simultaneous operation of 802.16t and ATCS modes, enabling gradual, disruption-free migration to the A Block while deploying IP at field locations incrementally.

Bandwidth on Demand - Any Application, Anywhere

Highest Spectral Efficiency Through Channel Aggregation

In an 802.16t network, unused bandwidth can be dynamically allocated to any other radios in the network which may have a temporary surge in traffic that must be handled. This capability not only ensures that large, mission-critical communications are given priority on the network, but also enables operators to fully optimize the use of their spectrum assets. Ondas radios allow railroads to aggregate contiguous and non-contiguous channels across AAR frequencies, enabling the transition to high-speed IP networks. With dynamic bandwidth allocation, operators can transform their legacy networks into mission-critical on-demand networks to deliver reliable connectivity for users and applications.
