ENGIE is a world leading group that provides low-carbon energy and services, and has been working from its office in Honolulu for over a decade to help customers decarbonize, decentralize and digitalize their operations. Icomera has been awarded the contract to deliver high-speed Passenger Wi-Fi for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project, an elevated system currently under construction in the City and County of Honolulu, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. Icomera’s mobile connectivity solution will be deployed via its next-generation X5 mobile application and communications gateways, which will be installed on board 80 train cars by early 2021. Empowering riders to stay connected, whether traveling for work or leisure, the X5 will deliver high- performance mobile Internet connectivity that will also meet and exceed passengers’ growing data transfer demands. Supported by a powerful suite of cloud-based management tools, the X-Series platform is capable of integrating a wide range of other Internet-enabled applications over time, giving the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) a technological foundation to build a fully realized “digital train” of the future. This capacity to further customize the initial Wi-Fi roll-out adds to the solution’s overall ROI. Andrew Robbins, CEO of HART, shared, “We are pleased to be working together with the ENGIE and Icomera team to provide direct solutions that meet passengers’ expectations to stay digitally accessible and connected on the go. Providing reliable Passenger Wi-Fi is a proven customer service offering that encourages more riders to use public transport, helping to further address and support a more diverse range of sustainable transportation options in the Honolulu region.” Magnus Friberg, CEO of Icomera, commented, “The Honolulu Rail Transit Project perfectly complements Icomera’s own vision to deliver reliable, green mobility across sectors – an offering we are helping to shape with ENGIE across the U.S. for transit authorities to city and school district fleets alike. The opportunity to help HART achieve its goals to improve the rider experience while reducing the region’s dependence on fossil fuels builds on ENGIE’s existing, strong presence in Hawai‘i where we’ve operated from our Honolulu office for more than a decade.” Once completed, the new, 20-mile rail line will link 21 key commuter and traditional tourist destinations including , Pearl Harbor, Honolulu International Airport, and . Complementing ongoing statewide initiatives centered on enhancing sustainable choices for residents and visitors, the elevated rail network will provide a more efficient and reliable transportation alternative within Honolulu's busy metropolitan corridor.
