Mobile Wireless Gateway with 5G and WI-FI 5 / WAVE 2

The CyBox GW 2-P is a robust wireless communication gateway for railway applications. It offers stable, secure, and broadband 5G/LTE connections for train-to-ground communication and high-speed internet. The device hosts multiple 5G/LTE interfaces for parallel channel use and thus maximized throughput, multiple Wi-Fi interfaces to connect to client devices such as mobile phones, as well as dual Gigabit Ethernet ports to attach the device to a backbone network. Country-specific 5G/LTE/Wi-Fi standards are adopted for worldwide use in every type of train.

There is mounting space for up to 4 radio modules within the CyBox GW 2-P. Each 5G/LTE module can be provided with up to four SIM cards for an optimal net coverage and maximum provider flexibility. The Wi-Fi interfaces allow for connecting clients at high data rates. The gateway can be equipped with either two 11ac 3x3 MIMO modules or one Wave 2 module with 4x4 multi-user MIMO (MUMIMO) support to boost network efficiency and maximize data throughput.

To enhance the CyBox GW 2-P media server capabilities with internal storage, mounting space for a M.2 solid state drive is supplied. It is connected to the CPU’s dedicated SATA port and can be used for streaming local, on-vehicle video and audio data. In addition, a M.2 PCIe solid state drive can be equipped as a mezzanine extension for even higher storage capacity.

The CyBox GW 2-P 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 interfaces, including provider information and the login dialog, as well as the setup of the stateful firewall. The access point and router 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.
