The technology, developed by Japanese firm HRCP Research and Development, enables the transfer of a full-length two-hour HD movie in 2 seconds and has been designed for the convenience of metro passengers on the move. Trials will be conducted over the next 30 days, and based on the feedback received, the company will try to make the service available for public use by the end of next year, DMRC said.
Anuj Dayal, principal executive director, of corporate communications at DMRC, said, “A demo of the technology was done at Metro Bhawan in the presence of DMRC’s managing director Vikas Kumar and officials from DMRC and HRCP.”
DMRC said that once downloaded, the content can be played without any buffering and can be accessed at any time by a passenger. To avail of the service, users will have to attach a dongle (attached to a mobile) to a touch point (transfer device) and download content from an app developed by HRCP.
