WLn-ABOARD Series
The WLn-ABOARD series is a rugged wireless broadband equipment designed for applications in road and railways transportation (CBTC architectures), depots, warehouses, agriculture, manufacturing floors, docks, distribution centers, ship yards and lumber yards. It can be mounted in trains, tramways, trucks, freighter ships, forklifts, trailers, tractors or cranes, dumpers, mines for material handling, real-time information transmission (multiple CCTV cameras, VoIP phones...), board to board, board to ground communications and ground infrastructure.
The two radio design makes it possible to use two separate networks for carriage bridging (5 / 5.4 GHz) and in-carriage communication (2.4 GHz) simultaneously without sacrificing speed; the turbo roaming feature allows loss-less communication between AP's during vehicle motion. Moreover, the dual radio system makes it possible to rely on a redundant; redundancy is also possible between a pair of devices.
It fulfills the most severe requirements in terms of operating environment: -25°C to +70°C (extended -40°C to +75°C, -55°C with optional PTC heater), shockproof and vibration proof, IP67 all weather seal rating for protection against dust, water projections and vapour.
WLn-ABOARD is certified for railway applications (EN 50155 / EN 50121), it is UTAC E2 certified (CE standard for electronic equipments installed aboard vehicle), and can thus be installed in full safety aboard of all on-road equipment as well.
