Railway WLAN Access Point with Wi-Fi 5 Dual Radio

The CyBox AP-A is a member of the CyBox 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 CyBox AP-A 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. 

On the fixed network side, the access point features one Gigabit Ethernet port and is powered over a single cable via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+), which reduces additional components and installation cost. The combination of costeffectiveness and compact design with high bandwidth wireless performance makes the CyBox AP-A a superb solution for dense environments.

The CyBox AP-A 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.
