Icomera was awarded ‘Best Supplier 2025’ by Alstom’s SJ250 project at the Supplier Day in Hennigsdorf last month, recognising its contribution to the SJ250 high‑speed train project for Sweden’s national rail operator, SJ.

The award recognises not only technical excellence, but also the way teams collaborate, solve challenges together, and deliver against ambitious project goals. For everyone involved from Icomera, this makes the recognition especially meaningful.

Powering Connectivity on Sweden’s Next‑Generation High‑Speed Fleet

The SJ250 programme is one of the most significant rolling stock investments in Scandinavia in recent decades. Alstom is delivering 25 state‑of‑the‑art electric high‑speed trains, capable of operating at speeds of up to 250 km/h, designed specifically for Nordic conditions and cross‑border operations.

Icomera is the onboard connectivity platform provider for the SJ250 fleet, delivering its 5G‑ready mobile connectivity and application routers, and access points, creating the foundation for a reliable, high‑performance passenger Wi‑Fi service.

High‑speed rail places unique demands on onboard connectivity – high velocities, variable radio conditions, and growing passenger expectations. The SJ250 trains are designed to become the fastest in Sweden, and the connectivity experience must keep pace.

A Recognition Built on Collaboration

What makes this award particularly meaningful is not just the result, but the journey behind it. Like many complex delivery programmes, the collaboration began with challenges that required openness, persistence, and teamwork on all sides.

Throughout the process, both organisations remained committed to constructive dialogue and shared responsibility, working together as one team with a common goal.

Across project management, engineering, product, and supply chain functions, Alstom observed Icomera’s consistent commitment, transparency, and professionalism.

Standing Out in a Highly Integrated Supplier Landscape

The SJ250 programme brought together expertise from across the rail industry to deliver a next-generation high speed fleet. Being recognised by Alstom within this ecosystem highlights the value placed on performance, reliability, and partnership.

Torsten John, Senior Vice President of Icomera’s activities in EMEA:

We would like to sincerely thank Alstom for their trust and for recognising the work of the Icomera team on the SJ250 programme.

This award reinforces our belief that connectivity is now a fundamental onboard system, underpinning both passenger experience and modern operational insight. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Alstom, building on what we have achieved together, and supporting the successful introduction of Sweden’s next generation of highspeed rail.
