Starlink is the most advanced satellite network in the world, with thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit delivering broadband connectivity even in remote regions. The service enables high-speed, low-latency internet in even the most remote regions, including to locations where high-speed internet has traditionally been unreliable or entirely unavailable.

Fast, Reliable Connectivity on Trains

Nomad Digital will offer Starlink on over 100 trains and on multiple different projects by:-

• Supporting operators to implement successful proof of concepts and which lead to decisions to rollout Starlink fleet wide
• Delivering a full fleet refurbishment rollout for one of Europe’s leading high speed operators in Italy
• Delivering a full fleet refurbishment for a leading UK operator on trains built by Alstom
• Delivering a full fleet new build rollout for a new operator entering the German high speed market in 2028 with trains built by Siemens

Successful Trials, Impressive Results & Full Scale Fleet Rollouts

Prior to today’s announcement, Nomad Digital has been actively involved in multiple successful Starlink internet projects with major rail operators, including high speed operators. Exciting developments which incorporate Nomad Digital’s intelligent hybrid aggregation connectivity solution include:-

• In 2024, Nomad Digital was selected to upgrade Italo’s existing fleet of 51 trains with onboard connectivity and has since completed the rollout across the operator’s network. This involved helping Italo to test Starlink’s connectivity across Italy’s challenging terrain. The results were impressive, delivering the equivalent of inner-city 5G capacity to trains in rural environments, with throughput consistently around 100 Mbps, a peak of between 35-400 Mbps and latency of less than 40 milliseconds. The proof of concept resulted in Italo taking the decision to rollout Starlink across their entire fleet.

• In May 2026 Nomad Digital confirmed it would be working closely with Scotrail to deliver new onboard Wi-Fi connectivity to 22 trains as part of Alstom’s long-term services and refurbishment programme for the Class 222 fleet. This marks an important step forward in how passengers experience rail travel across Scotland’s key intercity routes, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Inverness. The solution will utilise Nomad’s ‘intelligent hybrid aggregation’ which provides cellular 5G and Starlink.

• In September 2026 Nomad Digital announced it had been selected by Italo to equip its new German high-speed fleet with its advanced Internet On Board (IOB) solution and Nomad Engage portal for extended passenger infotainment. This new agreement will incorporate the deployment of Starlink and covers all 26 Siemens Velaro high-speed trains ordered by Italo as part of its planned entry into the German market from 2028.
