This paper studies the radio interface performance of a 60 GHz radio in both indoor and outdoor conditions. The target is to assess its suitability for resolving emerging needs in the public transport, especially, in rail traffic, to transfer large amounts of data from vehicles to the stations and vice versa, during a short period of time. 60 GHz could also be ideal band for the wireless inter-carriage connection between the railcars. The related services and requirements are defined in the 5G specification Mobile Communication System for Railways TS22.289. 60 GHz band is also included in the 5G standard as an unlicensed band.
