To support the roll out of free Wi-Fi on trains on the Great Western Rail Route, the new rolling stock in the InterCity Express Programme (IEP) will be fitted with on-board servers that will be capable of using both 3G mobile signals and Wi-Fi services available along the rail route. The design also supports use of 4G and WiMAX (World Wide Interoperability for Microwave Access) communications as an option.
