An increased interest in [5G connectivity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ubiquiti-unifi-5g-router) has the potential to reshape the internet while improving existing industries, like railway transportation.

At the Transports Publics Expo in Paris, [Huber+Suhner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huber-suhner) introduced consumers to a new and more connected [railway system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e10-shinkansen) called the Sencity Rail Multi antenna. According to the company, this piece of equipment serves as a "5G-ready solution for vehicle-to-ground communications." Increased communication results in a deeper level of connectivity, connection and safety, making for an enriched traveling experience for all facets of the industry. For the passengers, this antenna will offer real-time information, improved WiFi connection, seat reservation and more.

The antenna is currently in its trail phase, but is expected to become available throughout Europe in the near future.
