Customer Profile

The Mauritius Metro is a vital urban transit system serving thousands of passengers daily, connecting Port Louis with surrounding areas. As the demand for smarter transit operations and real-time data management grew, the metro needed a robust Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure to support its Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) and ensure seamless connectivity, data transfer, and operational optimization.

• Industry: Urban Transit and Public Transportation
• Services: Light Rail Transportation in Mauritius
• Operations: Serves thousands of passengers daily

Challenge

The Mauritius Metro faced significant challenges in efficiently transferring large volumes of data from its LRVs to the central DEPOT server during critical nighttime maintenance windows. The outdated infrastructure, with limited wireless speeds and unreliable 5GHz connections, struggled to support secure and efficient data transfers. This risked operational efficiency and data integrity, affecting the smooth functioning of the metro system.

Results

The deployment of Wi-Fi 6 significantly transformed the Mauritius Metro’s operations. Automated daily data transfers from LRVs to the central server now occur without manual intervention. The enhanced Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure expanded coverage across the DEPOT, supporting multiple simultaneous data transfers and improving overall efficiency. Faster and more reliable data transfers during critical maintenance windows ensure seamless operations, while real-time network monitoring enables proactive issue resolution, minimizing downtime and optimizing network performance.
