Station clocks: analog on the outside, digital on the inside

Even station clocks will be going digital in the future. Innovative remote monitoring will be able to identify and troubleshoot faults (such as the wrong time, lighting outages and water damage) in real time. Data will be transmitted using LoRaWAN™ long-range wireless technology, which is especially suited to Internet of Things applications due to its long range of over 10 km. Deutsche Bahn is the first transport company to test synchronizing its clocks using LoRaWAN™. The outside of clocks will look the same, but the inside will be digital and smart.
