21 Net
Founded by Anglo Scientific, the idea having been first thought of by Henry Hyde Thomson. It is now growing out of the Anglo Scientific stable having at its helm an industry expert, Jean-François de Lantsheere and is well on the way to commercial success.
Working in close association with train operators, 21Net offers high speed internet access to high speed train passengers.
As part of a European Space Agency project, 21Net has established the world’s first bi-directional satellite communications system able to deliver high speed Internet to high speed trains.
21Net provides train passengers not only a high speed internet connection but also a variety of entertainment services - films, news, journey or train information - streamed to their laptop screens by equipping trains onboard with video servers and “Wi-Fi” wireless networks and externally with a proprietary bi-directional satellite antenna on the train.
