Ibex-1310 and Ibex-1510 dual band access points
The Ibex-1310 and Ibex-1510 are concurrent dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) access points and clients designed to meet the IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6. By delivering enhanced performance and speed, especially in device-dense environments, the access points create networks that better support applications such as maintenance access, train data offloading and management systems, and hotspots for passenger Wi-Fi. The Ibex-1310 is approved for use on industrial vehicles, while the Ibex-1510 has been tested and certified to meet rail standards EN 50155 and EN 45545-2, allowing deployment both onboard trains and trackside. The devices are designed to withstand the tough environment onboard vehicles, including the exposure to constant vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and demanding electromagnetic environments. An extremely compact and power efficient design enables easy integration in space-restricted installations.
3510 PoE series
Westermo has introduced a new compact industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed to support the ever-growing networking requirements for devices, such as security cameras, wireless access points and monitors. The Lynx 3510 PoE series is capable of supporting networks with greater power demands and is ideal for handling big data, high bandwidth, mission-critical applications typically found within transportation, manufacturing, energy and smart cities.
10G Ethernet Switch
Westermo has introduced a new 10Gb industrial Ethernet switch designed to meet increasing demand for greater bandwidth, enabling modern, large-scale data communication networks to transmit more information than ever before. The RedFox 7528 provides outstanding network performance, reliability and security, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical rail trackside, energy and process industry applications.Ensuring the security of industrial data communication networks is of paramount importance, especially with the nature of cyberattacks becoming increasingly sophisticated. To reduce risk and increase cyber resilience, the RedFox 7528 has an extensive suite of advanced cybersecurity features. These can be used to build networks in compliance with the IEC 62443 standard, which defines technical security requirements for data communication network components. Supporting the need for seamless connectivity throughout an enterprise, the RedFox 7528 offers functionality that enables high-speed, low-latency connectivity with supervisory control and data acquisition systems, and equipment such as HD IP CCTV cameras deployed in industrial settings.Suitable for 19” cabinets, the switch provides four 10 gigabit uplink ports and 24 one-gigabit ports, customisable with SFP transceivers, and a powerful switch core that prevents congestion when network traffic spikes.
