ACKSYS RailBridger

Description

The RailBridger ACKSYS is a product designed specifically for inter-car and inter-train wireless connection. It is the ideal solution for train refurbishment or modernization projects, where there is no IP backbone or where the on-board network is limited (100 Mbps). Using wireless couplers is much easier and more cost-effective than using cables.
