Introduction
H5Rail is a ruggedized multi service communications platform that has been designed to fulfil the demand created by the evolution of the WWAN technologies and their applications that require wider bandwidth and higher capacity.
The router is equipped with multiple 5GNR and WiFi6 modems to be enabled in multiple combinations according to the use case. This high degree of flexibility guarantees, in turn, connectivity backup and resilience with concurrent multi sim/multi operator operations.
H5 Rail guarantees solid Ground to Train communications as well as to provide high speed Internet services to passengers onboard.
Competitive Advantages
Concurrent multiple WWAN interfaces
Up to 5 simultaneous WWAN links (5G/LTE and/or Wi-Fi ) with bandwidth aggregation and load-balancing to ensure maximum availability and application continuity.
State-of-the-art WWAN Technologies
With 5G-NR (fallback LTE Cat. 19) and Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax/ac/b/g/n in dual band (2,4GHz ans 5 GHz) AP and client modes.
Embedded cybersecurity NGFW
The fully integrated NGFW firewall can provide IDS/IPS (with +800 firms) and Webfiltering (DNS/URL based) for cybersecurity protectrion from external attacs.
Customized Extended Feature
H5 Rail also enables a wide range of product variants by adding RS232/485 peripheral, Digital I/O, Artificial Intelligence TPU, and extended SSD memory.
Description
H5 Rail is the perfect communications platform for all types of services on railways. Its multiple 5GNR module with advanced monitoring and bandwidth aggregation, redundancy options and cutting-edge communications security, make it ideal for critical, high availability services.
Specifically designed for use in the harsh railway environment (with up to 110 VDC power supply and extreme environmental conditions), the device supports a wide range of temperatures(-25 to 70°C), incorporates anti-vibration technology, and offers guaranteed interoperability with other onboard devices.
For onboard services, the wireless connection can be used as AP or client depending on the device’s location.
It also features standards-based management and Teldat’s management tools(CNM and Hotspot) for easy management of large-scale deployments.
The H5 Rail router is a multi-service communications platform for railway environments. It provides reliable 5G/4G broadband and Wi-Fi6 communications with redundancy options, bandwidth aggregation and advanced network security mechanisms.
The hardware design is compliant with railway regulations for installations on lightweight and high-speed trains or trams, is EN 50155 certified to meet vibration and emission requirements and offers an extended operating temperature range. As well is EN 45545 certified for fire and smoke safety.
The router also provides extremely reliable communications using dynamic configurations (based on location/communications quality data).
It combines Teldat's CIT software with the latest corporate networking technologies to facilitate service management (for large-scale deployments, access security and isolation) and seamless integration into hotspot platforms.
Key Features
5GNR provides higher performance and improved efficiency to empower new user experiences and connect new industries. Where 5G is not accessible, the router falls back to LTE Cat. 19 maintaining broadband connectivity.
Multi-user 2x2 MiMo for concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi access (2,4GHz and 5GHz) that seamless integrates with HotSpot and WebFilter applications, creating a full solution for on-board Internet connectivity.
The eSIM embedded into the 5G modems does not require maual operations to change mobile operator provider. The eSIM zero-touch provisioning, executed remotely on the fly, allows reducing operational costs dramatically.
Teldat's Security Solutions of Operational Technology to on-board systems to protect the IT system from external attacks with IPS/IDS methos.
Ideal for passenger journey information or telemarketing applications, GNSS provides real-time train's geolocation information via TCP port in NMEA standard. Enhanced by Dead-reckoning it allows tracking in dead spots.
Supports up to 4 WWAN modules (5G/LTE). Each module can operate independently or as backup providing concurrent multi-operator services and therefore allowing operator redundancy for critical communications.
Dual SIM slot for each of the 4 5G modems to increase connection availability, using any telecommunications operator and back it up with a second one in case of the primary connection is lost.
Concurrent use of multiple WAN interfaces (LTE, Wi-Fi, satellite, etc.) to distribute and aggregate load from multiple services on different interfaces, thus optimizing coverage areas and enhancing overall performance.
Designed to withstand vibrations and extreme temperature range (-25ºC to 70ºC), it also provides a multi-range power supply from 24 to 110 VDC for rolling stock either being trains and trams.
Certified according to railway standards (EN 50155, EN 50121-3-2, EN 45545-2, EN 301 908-1, EN 301 511) can work in extreme harsh environments.
