"The antennas come from a Japanese company called AGC that weaves microscopic wires through glass to form an antenna. JR Central will connect the windows to an on-train Wi-Fi router."
"AGC says rival tech relies on 5G signals reaching a train and then bouncing around inside before reaching the Wi-Fi unit. The company says antennas woven into train windows maintain line of sight to nearby 5G base stations."
"The sound-deadening kit JR Central will deploy is called Personalized Sound Zone (PSZ) and comes from Japan's tech giant NTT. The tech uses the same principles applied to noise-cancelling headphones."
"JR Central says it's implementing the tech because some people don't like to wear headphones, and hopes to allow travelers in its premium suites to watch video on a laptop, or converse, without having to put up with train noise."
Japanese bullet trains will soon offer private suites equipped with windows that have embedded 5G antennas and noise-cancelling technology. JR Central plans to deploy these suites on six trains. The antennas, developed by AGC, maintain line of sight to 5G base stations, improving signal strength and Wi-Fi stability. The noise-cancelling technology, called Personalized Sound Zone, allows passengers to enjoy a quieter environment without headphones. This innovation aims to enhance the travel experience for passengers in premium suites.
