Project to be based on Ondas Networks' 802.16 Wireless Technology

NANTUCKET, MA / ACCESSWIRE / December 28, 2021 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas"), a leading provider of private wireless, drone and automated data solutions through its wholly owned subsidiaries Ondas Networks Inc. ("Ondas Networks") and American Robotics, Inc. ("American Robotics" or "AR"), today announced that Ondas Networks has established a new rail communications research project at Penn State Altoona's Rail Transportation Engineering (RTE) program. The new project will utilize Ondas Networks' IEEE 802.16 standards-based communication platform to research various frequency, capacity, and modulation schemes in addition to testing advanced network security configurations for the Class 1 Rails. The goal of the research is to model secure and reliable communications networks suitable for deployment across freight and passenger railroad networks worldwide.

The Penn State Altoona's Rail Transportation Engineering (RTE) program was established in 2009 with an initial grant from the Norfolk Southern Foundation and at the request of railroad and transit executives who noted the need for more education and training. "As Railroads become increasingly dependent on communication as part of their business operations, they rely more and more on their data networks," stated Stephen Dillen, Assistant Teaching Professor of Electrical Engineering at Penn State. "The Ondas radio platform is designed to optimize the bandwidth of the network. Through this research, RTE students will be exposed to the latest cutting-edge communication technology." This world-class undergraduate research will be made available to railroads and other industries with similar communications needs.

"Last week Ondas announced the Rail Industry's support for a major rail lab at Ondas' headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. We felt it was important to ensure that research is continued at the academic level including exposing the rail industry's future leaders to next generation communications systems through our support of this research project," stated Eric Brock, Chairman & CEO of Ondas Holdings.

"We are excited to be working with Ondas to advance railroad communication technology," stated Corey Gracie-Griffin, Associate Dean for Research. "Our RTE faculty regularly engage industry partners to conduct research and expose our students to hands-on opportunities to develop the skills they'll need to succeed in their careers."
