In railway refurbishment projects, it is often impossible to install additional cables to ensure high-speed connectivity between carriages. ACKSYS’ proposed solution offers an optimized alternative by using wireless inter-carriage coupling technology, thus avoiding the need for new cable installations.
ACKSYS’ Expertise
ACKSYS has extensive experience in designing and providing products based on IEEE 802.11 technology for the railway industry and its applications. ACKSYS’ wireless coupling solution ensures easy installation, high-speed communications, increased reliability, and optional redundancy features for all types of trains.
Connectivity needs for intelligent transportation
Intelligent transportation solutions increasingly require high-throughput IP infrastructures. However, adding additional cables between carriages is often very difficult, if not impossible. In response to this challenge, ACKSYS offers a wireless coupling solution.
Wireless coupling features
Wireless coupling requires the automatic establishment of an intelligent connection between the cars. It is crucial that the connection is only established between facing carriages, thus avoiding erroneous connections with carriages on adjacent tracks.
ACKSYS’ SRCC solution
ACKSYS’ SRCC (Smart Redundant Carriage Coupling) solution relies on wireless couplers requiring a single configuration and thus:
- supports any train composition change
- provides a redundant and reliable onboard network
By combining SRCC with train-to-ground communication and access points inside the carriages, ACKSYS offers a complete wireless network solution to meet all application needs: CBTC, CCTV, PIS, onboard Internet, etc.
ACKSYS’ wireless coupling solution offers an effective and reliable alternative to additional cables, especially in refurbishment projects, while meeting the increasing demands of intelligent transportation infrastructures. With easy installation and robustness suited to the railway environment, the ACKSYS’ solution guarantees high-speed communication and unparalleled reliability.
