To provide even more services and safety to users but also to manage their fleet efficiently, operators need to exchange real-time operating data in motion or at the depot/station (video surveillance, ticketing, passenger counting, PIS…) with buses and trams.
> ACKSYS RANGE OF RUGGED WiFi ROUTERS (EMBEDDED) AND WIFI ACCESS POINTS (AT THE DEPOT) ALLOW A RAPID AND AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OF ALL THESE DATA.
To enable a reliable and simultaneous transfer of all these data coming from the various embedded equipment, ACKSYS’ solution offers advanced security functions (firewall, VPN, radius…) and streams mutualization functions (routing, filtering, VLAN, QoS…).
Only one router per vehicle is needed, simplifying deployment and allowing reduced operating and maintenance costs.
APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS

SMART DEPLOYMENT
Administration and deployment – WaveManager : deployment & centralized management software – C-KEY : Hardened memory key (confi guration backup)
WiFi coverage – Mesh networks and multi-radios access points : simplify the deployment of a WiFi coverage at the depot or along the track
Embedded WiFi routers
– Streams mutualization : a single embedded router, accessible to all the vehicle’s equipment (isolation/ segmentation/ prioritization of flows)
– Identical IP addressing scheme in all vehicles without interconnection risks (routing and filtering of flows)
MOBILITY
– High speed data transfer in motion (fast roaming <30 ms)

ADAPTED DESIGN FOR TRAMWAY AND GROUND USE
– Embedded and outdoor rugged solutions
– Extended operating temperature (up to -40°C and + 75°C depending on models)
– M12 connectors
– EN50155 (IEC61373) / EN50121-3-2 compliant (tram)
– EN61373 (shocks/vibrations)
