Cisco CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 4.0 Information Guide
With Wi-Fi, however, CSAs can use handheld devices to access large amounts of
real time data about the state of London’s travel system, which means they are
better placed to offer guidance and advice to travelers. The London Underground
Control Centre now broadcasts this same information on a regular basis, so both
are fully synced.

“Another potential advantage of the Wi-Fi network is that it can be used to retrieve
conditional monitoring data from trains and other assets operating deep below ground
on a daily basis,” adds Townsend. “The benefit of this approach was demonstrated
during the Games when Wi-Fi was used to monitor particular trains so they could be
taken out of service and replaced if there were signs they might break down, thus
reducing the likelihood of unforeseen service disruptions.”

This capability is now being extended to other assets such as lifts and escalators,
using the kinds of real time machine-to-machine and sensor-to-machine
communications increasingly prevalent in the era of the Internet of Everything.

Townsend sums up: “These benefits have been achieved with a return-on-
investment model that imposes a zero financial burden on TfL and could help
enable the organization to achieve greater network infrastructure efficiency in
future, significantly reducing its IT costs.”
