For sophisticated electronic equipment, railways are a hostile and demanding environment, with high levels of electrical noise, continual shock and vibration and extreme operating temperature excursions. The unique nature of the rail environment has long been recognised by the industry, which has developed its own rigorous specifications for onboard electronics. IGT has considerable experience of working with customers to enable them to meet the demands of the industry.
