mmWave Onboard Rail Node

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-7321 node is qualified for onboard deployment with extended service life and low maintenance. This node comes with three units. A train top unit, a cable and an in-train CPU. The compact Oryx-7321 is EN 50155 certified for onboard installation.

The Oryx-7321 onboard unit works together with Oryx-7322 trackside unit to form a multi-gigabit link between train and trackside. Both feature two radios which work together to maintain an aggregated data throughput of between 2-4 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-7321 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.
