Claim 14:
15. A system for achieving train control vitality, the system comprising:
a wayside device configured for deployment on or near tracks within a railway network for supporting achieving train control vitality, the wayside device comprising:
at least two independent ranging radios, each ranging radio comprising one or more antennas, configured for transmitting and/or receiving wireless signals; and
circuitry configured to control operations of the wayside device, wherein the circuitry is configured to at least process signals transmitted and/or received via the at least two independent ranging radios;
wherein the at least two independent ranging radios and the circuitry are configured to maintain isolation during communication of signals, wherein:
the wayside device is configured for supporting use of a plurality of different exclusive channels,
at least two of the plurality of different exclusive channels use a same frequency,
maintaining the isolation during the communication of signals comprises assigning to each of the at least two independent ranging radios different channel from the plurality of different exclusive channels, and
when channels assigned to the at least two independent ranging radios use a same frequency, the maintaining of the isolation comprises applying one or more measures to account for use of a same frequency; and

wherein the wayside device is configured to communicate with any train-mounted unit, configured for use within a train to support achieving train control vitality, when the train-mounted unit comes within communication range of the train-mounted unit.
