You're kidding, right? You'd advocate using a garbage consumer-grade technology like "Wi-Fi" (802.11) for a life safety vital system?

I am serious and so are CBTC vendors Alcatel (Seltrak) and Wabtec. The Las Vegas system uses wi-fi, even if it cannot make its operating cost. It is being intalled in Hong Kong and Paris.

I posted this link a while back, outlining wi-fi's use in RF-CBTC. I guess you missed it, based on your surprise comment.

I suppose wide-fi would be a reasonable choice for mainline railroads, once it matures in the harsh consumer applications environment.
