SUCCCESS STORY
Connectivity And Advanced Analytics
ADIF managed to reduce Wi-Fi infrastructure costs by 34% in some of its most important stations. All thanks to Galgus technology, which minimizes the number of access points needed to deliver a user experience that meets the demands of travelers.
Challenge: Reduce infrastructure investment without compromising service quality
QUALITY INTERNET ACCESS IN TRAIN STATIONS
ADIF is the public entity under the Ministry of Transport that manages the railway infrastructure in Spain.
They needed to provide an excellent Wi-Fi service at the Barcelona Sants and Zaragoza stations, two of the busiest in Spain.
Thousands of people pass through these stations every day, requiring a robust Wi-Fi infrastructure to meet the high user demand in an environment with a high density of simultaneous connections. All of this had to be achieved while optimizing the investment, ensuring that costs did not skyrocket.
The deployment carried out by Galgus
Minimizing the number of required access points
With Galgus’ CHT technology, we optimized the network system design by providing a 3D simulation to enhance coverage, channels, and access point placement.
This allowed us to significantly reduce the number of access points actually needed to deliver an excellent service at both stations.
The total number required for both stations was 279 Wi-Fi access points, compared to ADIF’s initial estimate of 418 APs.
As a result, the costs associated with access points were significantly reduced, leading to further savings by minimizing infrastructure requirements (switches, cables, etc.).
Overall, this resulted in a 50% cost reduction in APs and a 34% reduction in infrastructure costs.
