Say goodbye to slow train Wi-Fi: ELTEC Elektronik and HUBER+SUHNER's Revolutionary Access Point with Integrated antenna enhances connectivity for a better on-board experience.
Seeking a solution for the poor Wi-Fi on trains? Look no further than Westermo's CyBox AP-A access point, the result of a revolutionary technological partnership between HUBER+SUHNER and ELTEC Elektronik. This ground-breaking innovation, which has a compact antenna, is intended to revolutionize the utilization of Wi-Fi on trains by enabling railway operators to deliver much faster data transfer rates for each passenger. This will increase the quality of Wi-Fi service while on board. Whether you're browsing the web or accessing multimedia data, it ensures a stable, secure, and high-speed connection between mobile devices and the local Ethernet.
The HUBER+SUHNER SENCITY Rail antenna is a feature of the CyBox AP-A access point, which was created for improved Wi-Fi connectivity in train passenger compartments. Each client receives more bandwidth as well as faster internet browsing thanks to the multiple access points that have been set strategically throughout the compartment. A more effective and dependable network is provided by combining the access point and antenna into a single housing, which simplifies installation and moves the access points closer to users. Wi-Fi networks that are redundant allow the remaining access points to take over and maintain minor reductions in total bandwidth in the case that there's a malfunctioning access point, ensuring reliability in operation.
In order to greatly boost the data throughput per user, "small cell" solutions—smaller Wi-Fi cells with a constrained number of users—are being used in trains more frequently. These systems have more access points per train carriage. As a result of this, ELTEC has integrated its access point and an antenna from HUBER+SUHNER into a single housing. This gets rid of the need for RF cabling within the train and drastically lowers line loss.
One Ethernet cable is all that is needed for the CyBox AP-A access point which provides power (PoE+) and data connectivity. The absence of additional antenna and RF cables gives railway operators a compact alternative that makes installation simpler and more affordable when compared to other options. More antennae and RF connections will be needed as new Wi-Fi generations are introduced. The distance to the access point will no longer be a problem thanks to the direct integration of the access point into the antenna.
The CyBox AP-A has been created in compliance with existing railway standards like EN 50155. The access point has the versatility to be mounted horizontally on the ceiling to provide high network density coverage throughout the environment or vertically on the wall to increase its range.
Installation is quick and simple because the mounting footprints are the same. Future improvements are made more straightforwardly, saving railway operators money and lowering the possibility of downtimes. Railway operators can feel confident that their trains are future-proof because of the same, constant mounting even when new devices are being developed to support future Wi-Fi generations.
