The Ibex-A2510 is a member of the Ibex family – robust access points for railway applications. It is particularly designed to meet the requirements of rolling stock applications. It offers stable, secure, and high bandwidth connections between the local Ethernet and wireless clients. With the assistance of the access point, multiple mobile Wi-Fi-compatible devices in a passenger train or subway have the possibility to communicate with the Internet or access local data, such as timetable information and multimedia data.

The Ibex-A2510 is a very compact access point with build-in antenna and a slim design, which integrates seamlessly into the environment. Furthermore, it meets aesthetic requirements as it resigns from external antennas with visible cables and connections for a sleek understated look that is ideal in customer facing areas.

The combination of cost-effectiveness and compact design with high bandwidth wireless performance makes the Ibex-A2510 a superb solution for dense environments.

The Ibex-A2510 firmware provides a convenient management interface via a web service. Besides global setup parameters the open source software OpenWrt allows the configuration of the radio and the login dialog, as well as the setup of the stateful firewall. The access point configurations as well as the management firmware can be updated remotely. Furthermore, the built-in fully configurable stateful firewall and multi-VPN support with hardware-accelerated encryption ensures communication security.
