WiFi 6 / WiFi 6E and LTE 4G / 5G railway router for onboard and trackside communications
RailBox V2 is a rugged device designed for railway and light rail applications. It can be mounted on trains, subways, trams or in any equipment that requires robustness and high bandwidth for innovative services on the move.
RailBox V2 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…) – Train and carriage coupling to establish an end-to-end Ethernet and IP backbone – Passenger services like onboard WiFi, videostreaming, entertainment, infotainment… – High Speed data offload at the station or depot
The device relies on the multi-streams MU-MIMO and beamforming 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).
RailBox V2 is an evolution of Railbox, with exactly the same footprint (same dimensions and same connectors). This allows a smooth and cost-efficient upgrade of customers already equipped with Railbox products.
