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 mobility.

Main Features:

Single or dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (MIMO 3T3R or MU-MIMO 4T4R), up to 4.4 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 PoE+
Rugged aluminum enclosure, IP66 seal rating, industrial T° grade, shock & vibration proof

RailBox can be implemented by system integrators and rail vehicle manufacturers who are seeking to establish high availability for:

uninterrupted train-to-trackside communications (CBTC, CCTV, VoIP, preventive maintenance, PIS...)
carriage coupling (to support any train composition change and provide a redundant & reliable onboard network)
reliable onboard vehicle network (WiFi onboard, train announcements, infotainment...)

The device relies on the multi-streams MIMO technology that contributes to an expanded coverage, higher data throughput and increased radio link reliability.

Furthermore it combines an optional LTE mobile broadband router plus a GPS allowing using the device as a mobile hotspot in transportation applications (coming soon).

It fulfills the most severe requirements in terms of operating environment: from -25°C to +70°C (extended :-40°C to +85°C), shock and vibration proof, protection against dust and water projections (IP66).
