TELentice powers on-board passenger information and entertainment system for Sydney Light Rail

Connex Light Rail

The Connex Light Rail system in Sydney deploys a network of 20in LCD screens throughout their fleet of trams that provide passengers with entertainment and information during their trip. The service is supplied and operated by GRV Media, a technology and media company that selected Fujitsu's award-winning TELentice as the application backbone for the scheduling, distribution and display of all media.

The on-board system provides unobtrusive, yet dynamic entertainment and news content, focused on the passenger. Using the latest in mobile reception technology, the GRV service offers a multimedia platform for many forms of communication and information delivery with each tram, no matter where it is in the system.

The TELentice software is used to schedule and display quality entertainment, news, current affairs and other lifestyle programmes to each of the screens. The flexibility of the system allows GRV to update full video news clips several times a day, and even supports ticker-based updates via SMS.
