Hitachi, Ltd. has done much to improve the efficiency, the utility, and the convenience of railroad-related systems through the development of diverse onboard control equipment, ground operations management systems, and maintenance support systems. Now thanks to recent advances in broadband networking technology already evident in businesses, households, and cities, more and more systems are being interconnected and all sorts of new services are being made available at an accelerated pace. There is a strong expectation and desire that railroad systems can similarly be made more efficient and convenient by using these same technologies to interconnect many onboard train and ground systems. Responding to these needs, Hitachi has been an industry leader in developing broadband network infrastructures for trains and to link onboard systems with external ground systems. In the company's capacity as a railroad system integrator, Hitachi has also been instrumental in making railroad systems more convenient and efficient by networking onboard equipment and by linking onboard systems with ground control systems.
