iWLAN for aerial tramway control
The “Kristbergbahn” single-track aerial tramway in Montafon, Austria, is 1,575 m long and transports as many as 35 people at a time up to the top station, at an altitude of 555 m. In 2016, the cable car was modernized, with an investment of around 750,000 €. The entire control equipment, electrical engineering and brake systems, the car and the exit area were completely renewed. As part of the project, Wireless.Consulting GmbH designed and installed a completely new iWLAN concept. Here, the main focus was on ensuring the availability of the system, because waiting times caused by missing control data would be unacceptable where 215 people need to be transported per hour.
