- Cellular, LTE and 2G support with worldwide coverage
- GPS/GloNASS/Galileo/Beidou receiver for precise location
- Distance measurement for maintenance and billing
- Vibration monitoring for shock and railcar health condition
- BLE 5.0 connectivity to support wireless sensor connectivity such as cargo temperature, doors state, parking brake status etc.
- OTAP – over the air programming for configuration and software updates
- Smart energy management for longer life battery
- IP67 rating
- Full compliance with railway standards
Groundbreaking Connected Railcars System (CRS) powered by proprietary Mesh Technology
Experience advantages of the low energy consuming dynamic network connecting all cars on a train and the locomotive without setup hassles – just “Plug & Play”!
Seamless synchronization forms a virtual network, providing realtime data on connected railcars and their positioning in the trainset, and allowing instant safety alerts to the driver on critical failures and End-of-Train events with no cellular coverage dependency!
Connected Railcars System (CRS) is a game changer in rail freight reliability and safety.
