Nomad Digital to deliver onboard connectivity for Italo’s entry into the German high-speed rail market
Nomad Digital, a leading provider of transport connectivity solutions, has been selected by Italo to equip its new German high-speed fleet with its advanced 5G Internet On Board (IOB) solution and Nomad Engage portal for extended passenger infotainment.
The contract covers all 26 Siemens Velaro high-speed trains ordered by Italo as part of its planned entry into the German market from 2028. As rail operators expand into new markets, passengers increasingly expect the same high-quality connectivity they experience at home and at work. The Nomad Digital solution has been designed to support a seamless digital experience. It will enable passengers to enjoy continuous connectivity so they can work, live and play on the go. Passengers will also have the opportunity to access a range of media, entertainment and journey information content through Nomad Engage.
The key to being able to deliver the seamless passenger experience is connectivity. Nomad Digital’s future ready design will utilise both cellular and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite technologies supported by the ‘intelligent hybrid aggregation’ tool which optimises performance for passengers and data costs for operators.
The contract was awarded following a competitive tender process and builds on the successful partnership between Nomad Digital and Italo in Italy. In 2024, Nomad Digital was selected to upgrade Italo’s existing fleet with onboard connectivity and has since completed the rollout across the operator’s network. The new agreement supports Italo’s expansion into one of Europe’s most competitive high-speed rail markets and further strengthens the long-standing relationship between the two companies.
Jean-Philippe Garbit, Managing Director, Nomad Digital comments:
“The award of this contract is a great success for Nomad Digital and demonstrates our strengthened position in the European high-speed sector. The integration of our 5G connectivity and passenger information solutions across this new Italo fleet reinforces our relationship with one of our most important partners. We are proud to be chosen by Italo to support their pursuit of a customer focused strategy. We look forward to working with them to deliver an outstanding passenger experience in Germany; to match what they are already delivering across Italy.”
