RailBridger

The RailBridger ACKSYS is a product designed specifically for inter-car and inter-train wireless connection. It is the ideal solution for train refurbishment or modernization projects, where there is no IP backbone or where the on-board network is limited (100 Mbps). Using wireless couplers is much easier and more cost-effective than using cables. High throughput: use of the 60GHz band avoids interference with 2.4GHz and 5 GHz WiFi, and enables very high data rates of the order of 1.2Gbps. Extremely compact dimensions Plug&Play: easy mechanical installation (4 screws), PoE power supply and virtually no configuration required Intelligent inter-car coupling: the wireless IP backbone automatically reconfigures itself to adapt to any changes in car composition. Redundancy: two RailBridger couplers can be used on either side for redundancy or link aggregation. Highly robust: IP-69K
