Industrial WiFi Access PointRugged dual 802.11ac (WiFi 5) WiFi access point, client & repeater for railways
Description
RailBox is a rugged device designed for railway and light rail applications. It can be mounted in trains, subways, trams or in any equipment that requires robustness and high bandwidth for innovative services on the move.
RailBox can be implemented by system integrators and rail vehicle manufacturers who are seeking to establish reliable, efficient and agile network for:
- Uninterrupted train-to-trackside communications (CBTC, CCTV, VoIP, preventive maintenance, PIS, etc.)
- Train and carriage coupling to establish an end-to-end Ethernet and IP backbone
- Passenger services like onboard WiFi, videostreaming, entertainment, infotainment, etc.
The device relies on the multi-streams MIMO technology that contributes to an expanded coverage, higher data throughput and increased radio link reliability.
It fulfills the most severe requirements in terms of operating environment: from -25°C to +70°C (extended : -40°C to +70°C), shock and vibration proof, protection against dust and water projections (IP66).
- Single or dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (MIMO 3T3R or MU-MIMO 4T4R), up to 1.73 Gbps
- MESH, WMM QoS, multiple SSID and centralized RADIUS security supported
- WaveManager centralized management software
- Dual insulated redundant power supply input 24 to 110 VDC (EN50155 nominal) or 12 to 36 VDC or PoE+
- Rugged aluminum enclosure, IP66 seal rating, industrial T° grade, shock & vibration proof
