Rail Security and Connectivity – Sustainable Solutions for a Safer Network
WJ Sunstone delivers advanced surveillance and communications platforms tailored for the rail industry. Our solar-powered systems are designed to operate in off-grid and trackside environments, offering real-time monitoring, rapid deployment, and zero-emission operation. From depots to stations and along remote railway corridors, we help the rail sector protect critical infrastructure while meeting carbon reduction goals.
Whether improving safety, security, or operational oversight, our systems offer a cleaner, more cost-effective alternative to traditional surveillance and telecoms infrastructure.
Proven in Rail Environments Across the UK
WJ Sunstone’s technologies have been successfully deployed across multiple rail networks, including the Far North Railway Line in Scotland, where we helped achieve:
- 90% reduction in site emissions
- Over 80% of energy demand met through solar
- Avoided infrastructure costs of over £500,000 compared to traditional methods
Our clients trust us to deliver reliable, intelligent systems that function year-round in harsh weather conditions, reduce environmental impact, and simplify implementation in complex rail environments.
Zero-Emission Operation
Running on solar, HVO or methanol power, our platforms eliminate fuel dependency, reduce carbon emissions by up to 1 tonne per year, and support rail decarbonisation targets
Tried & Tested
Our technologies have been deployed into a range of rail applications across the UK.
Resilient and Reliable
Built to operate in all weather conditions, our robust units remain active in extreme cold, heat, and high-wind environments.
Connected
We can stream live surveillance to any monitoring centre via 4G and 5G, Wireless & SD WAN Networks and Satellite.
Innovative Sensors
We only integrate advanced surveillance cameras, motion detectors and smart analytics.
Applications
- Trackside Surveillance: Deploy clean, mobile CCTV towers for real-time monitoring of track sections and maintenance zones.
- Depot and Station Security: Safeguard rolling stock, equipment, and public-facing assets with high-definition surveillance and remote access monitoring.
- Rail Yard Operations: Enhance site safety with round-the-clock oversight of vehicle movements, access points, and operational workflows.
- Wireless Communications: Use our platforms to create point-to-point or high-speed cellular networks in rail corridors, tunnels, and isolated locations.
Built for Sustainability and Long-Term Savings
- Zero emissions from solar-powered operation
- Over 1,000 litres of diesel saved annually per unit
- Recyclable components designed for end-of-life circularity
- CO₂ reduction of up to 1 tonne per year

Trackside Surveillance
We have significant experience of delivering mobile and solar-powered platforms for rail.
Depot & Station Security
Our platforms can provide remote surveillance and telecoms for depots, stations and rail yards.
Wireless Communications
Our platforms can be used to deliver high speed cellular and wireless point to point networks.
Sensors Integration
We can integrate a range of third party sensors onto our platforms, alongside telecoms and CCTV.
Solar CCTV Systems provide round-the-clock surveillance of rail yards, depots and critical infrastructure. Remote monitoring capabilities allow operators to access live feeds, enhancing situational awareness and enabling swift responses to incidents or emergencies.
Operating entirely on renewable solar energy, these systems eliminate electricity costs, reduce carbon emissions and align with the rail industry’s sustainability goals.
Designed for quick and hassle-free installation, our systems require minimal groundwork or electrical infrastructure, allowing for easy deployment even in remote rail locations. This simplifies implementation while minimising operational disruptions.
High-quality surveillance footage ensures clear monitoring of rail assets and activities, deterring vandalism and theft. These systems also improve safety by detecting trespassing, documenting safety breaches and supporting investigations through secure data storage and retrieval.
