live video feed of CCTV video cameras in the coaches to ensure efficient and faster train operations.It will assist in increasing the line
capacity to accommodate more trains using the existing infrastructure
It will likewise lower transportation cost and supply higher efficiency throughout the network.According to the statement, the spectrum
charges might be imposed based on the formula basis as recommended by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for the royalty charges and
license cost for the captive use as advised by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.Additionally, Indian Railways likewise approved
TCAS or train crash avoidance system, an indigenously developed automatic train protection system, which will help in avoiding train
collisions, decreasing mishaps to enhance guest safety

the quality of signalling for operations
The recommendations of TRAI appear to have been accepted with the spectrum being allocated particularly for captive use and not commercial
usage, with a royalty charge and license cost applicability payable to the DoT, stated Tony Verghese, Partner, J Sagar Associates.The wi-fi
improvement capabilities for end consumers will not be a focus in the meantime, nevertheless, the application of safer and much faster
