Communicate: Solutions

RailComm provides a variety of Communication Solutions to improve railroad operations including our RADiANT™ spread spectrum radios and all types of wireless communications (900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 802.11) plus serial and fiber optic communications that help customers communicate more effectively.

RADiANT Data Radios with Integrated Antenna

  • RADiANT™ is a license-free data radio integrated with a high gain antenna packaged together in an outdoor-rated enclosure.
  • There is absolutely no requirement to connect the RailComm RADiANT™ to an external antenna or any RF cable, which translates into lower maintenance costs and longer communication distances.
  • Overall package is outdoor-rated and operates over an extended temperature range. It features ground isolation on all power supply and data port connections and is optimized for industrial applications.
  • The system provides error-free communications over 20 miles at sustained data rates over 19.2Kbits/second.

Switch Position Annunciator

  • The Switch Position Annunciator uses radio technology to communicate critical switch position information, well in advance of the point.
  • With built in diagnostics, your maintenance personnel have all of the data they need before going out to the field.
  • Each heater element is monitored by the system and logged to a file. When an element failure is detected, it can be alarmed and serviced before it affects train movement.
  • Dual Mode Interrogation: interrogate switch through standard DTMF tones from railroad walkie-talkies and/or by RailComm RADiANT™ data radio.
  • Announces position over voice radio (similar to Hot Box Detector operation) and/or displays switch status on PDA/laptop connected to the on-board RailComm RADiANT™.

Isolation Modules

  • The RailComm® Isolation Module provides a low cost solution for isolating power and serial communication ground connections.
  • Supplies an isolated +12VDC output at up to 1.0 A that can be used to power a data radio or other serial communication device.
  • Two optically isolated serial communications channels.
  • Each channel can be configured independently for RS232 (single-ended) or RS422 (differential) communications.
  • Wall or panel-mountable.
