Abstract: Apparatus for power transmission and for inductive communication with a track or rail-guided moving object, with a power transmission line which extends along an envisaged path of movement of the object—with which a current collector can make contact—for supplying power to moving loads, a separate data line, at least one communication inductance on the object coupleable magnetically to the data line, and with a communication device which is connected to the communication inductance. The communication device has a modem which operates on the basis of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing method at a data rate of at least 50 MBit/s. One end of the data line is connected to a communication device connected to a central control unit and containing a modem of the same type as the communication device in the moving object.
