Summary

Westermo’s mmWave solution for high-speed transport provides continuous, on-the-move multi-gigabit connectivity between trackside and train for on-board services including Passenger Internet Access, CCTV upload and data exchange.

The Oryx-7322 node is qualified for trackside deployment with extended service life and low maintenance. Typically deployed on rail trackside at intervals of up to 2 km, this unit provides a multi-gigabit link between train and trackside. The compact Oryx-7322 is EN50121-4 certified for trackside installation. This unit includes both 10 Gigabit fiber and Ethernet ports.

The Oryx-7322 trackside unit works together with the on-board unit Oryx-7321. Both feature two radios which work together to maintain an aggregated data throughput of between 1-4 Gbps per train, continuously and at speed.

Trackside and train units include the RWM6050 dual modem IC with HYDRA technology developed by Blu Wireless, two-sector electronic phased array antennas operating in 60 GHz unlicensed spectrum, and a quad-core ARM Network Processor. The units support flexible network and edge application configuration in a standard and secure Linux environment.

The Oryx-7322 is equipped with the latest cybersecurity features and updates. The links have AES128 encryption in the nominal configuration and AES256 in the extended range configuration.
