Optimised for ITS integrators, transit agencies and rail operators, this network management device can maintain constant application connectivity when traveling through multiple, disparate wireless networks.
Leveraging best-in-class Cisco Systems routing technology, the Duramart 1100 supports the Mobile IP standard for seamless roaming through wireless networks.
This wireless agnostic device CAN interface with most legacy and future data radios.
A typical installation would connect onboard applications to the enterprise back-office through public cellular, private VHF/UHF, 802.11, satellite or any combination thereof.
The Duramart also provides the capability to automatically select the optimum route for data flow based on the wireless networks available at any moment in time.
Mobile IP functionality provides a persistent interface so wireless network transitions are transparent to sensitive onboard applications.
Encryption, authentication and policy routing are standard features used to protect sensitive data from malicious attacks.
Standard vehicle features include a robust power supply system with wide input range, interface and system status LEDs, rugged circular connectors and 75W conditioned auxiliary output power for remote radio node modules (power-over-Ethernet capable).
The Duramart is qualified to meet global rail environmental standards.
