Key Features
Arctic Railway Gateway is customized for Railway application.
Reliability of connection and the device itself is essential. This is provided by internal and communication monitoring. In case of any malfunction communication is re established automatically.
Being able to work with either private or public operator APNs makes the Arctic GSM-R Gateway especially suitable for connecting remote devices and equipment to the Internet and corporate networks.
End-to-end data security is achieved either by utilizing private APN services provided by a mobile operator or by using Viola M2M Gateway which provides VPN connection between the Viola M2M Gateway and Arctic devices.
In addition to an Ethernet interface there are RS232 and RS-232/422/485 (with switch selectable biasing and termination) serial ports available for connecting single or multiple serial devices to Arctic Railway Gateway. Data from serial devices can be forwarded also to Ethernet port if needed.
