Having Dual radio 802.11ac on-board

What’s happening when having single radio on-board?

All passengers devices are sharing the same airtime on the 2.4 Ghz allocated channel, which brings poor

experience when single passenger can have 2 or 3 mobile devices registered on the Passenger’s wifi

2.4 Ghz

Having Wlan AP Dual Radio, dual band 11n & 11ac on-board clears some RF interference due to 11n

channel congestion, Now last gen mobile devices can share the clean 5ghz band mandatory for 11ac

devices.

congestion,

Legacy

components

Not future proof

ready

Lab testing and production network

benchmarking have shown that even legacy and

802.11n devices tend to perform better with

802.11ac APs.

That gain is often attributed to

+ Better radios,

+ DSPs,

+ Antennas,

+ Faster CPUs

and more memory in the newer 802.11ac APs.

And considering that there is little or no price

difference compared to 802.11n devices,

installing ACKSYS 802.11ac APs in Railway

environments is a good way to go.

Ethernet Daisy Chaining on-board

railbox-mobility

Ethernet switch not mandatory

$$$$$$$$


Prefered Design

To deploy daisy chain topologies, no hubs or switches are required.

All devices have an embedded switch.

Dual port Ethernet at the device level is an absolute integral component for daisy chain topologies.

Each device in the network has at least two Ethernet ports.

One port of the device connects to one port of the neighboring device on either side of the device. These

neighboring connections make up the daisy chain.

BENEFITS

No additional dedicated Ethernet switch on-board for

each AP

Material/footprint/Weight/Energy saving

embedded dedicated Ethernet switch.

Full gigabits speed available, because switching packet is optimized along the backbone

Prefered Design BENEFITS

In case of hardware failure, or power

failure in the cabine, then the micro-relays

connect the two lan ports when the AP in

unpowered.

And more challenges

C1.On-board space capacity is decreasing due to

complete digitalization of coaches, M2M..

C2. Hash environment, inside, outside, shock,

vibration, temperature, humidity, dust, sand..

C3. High speed applications require high data rate,

low latency, maximum wlan density, in a highly

C4.Powerfull trackside radio means:

-High power antenna, Fiber/Lte/Wlan backhaul

Increasing Wireless Capacity Demand

Will your infrastructure support such growing demand?

Full HD,HFR 3D, U4K ..Are new multimedia acronyms steering wireless capacity demand..


Full HD,HFR 3D, U4K shape the Wireless Std

Will your infrastructure support such growing enternainment demand?

What is High Frame Rate 3D (HFR 3D)?

Frame rates refer to the number of images (frames) displayed by a projector in one

second. The current standard in cinemas worldwide is 24 frames per second (fps).

HFR 3D productions of 48 fps record and play visuals at twice the current rate,

which more closely approximates what the human eye actually sees. The higher

48fps rate provides enhanced clarity and reduces motion blur during action

sequences, artifacts, judder and strobing.
