Since 1984, ACKSYS COMMUNICATIONS & SYSTEMS has acquired a strong know-how in designing and manufacturing industrial data communication solutions (WLAN / LAN / SERIAL).
Its expertise and high-quality standards allows it to meet the most severe requirements in transportation (rail & road), industrial (SCADA, automation), military (marine, land, air), aeronautics, mining (underground and above ground), oil & gas and environment.
AirXroad
11n WiFi access point, Ethernet bridge, repeater & MESH point for automotive & heavy-duty applications
AirXroad is a compact rugged enclosure equipment, ideally designed for applications in road transportation, depots, warehouses, agriculture, manufacturing floors, docks, distribution centers, shipyards and lumberyards… it can be mounted in trucks, city buses, forklifts, trailers, tractors or cranes or in any rotating machinery, for material handling, real-time information transmission, and inventory management.
The device relies on the multi-streams MIMO technology that contributes to an expanded coverage, higher data throughput and increased radio link reliability.
It fulfills the most severe requirements in terms of operating environment: from -40°C to +70°C, shock and vibration proof, protection against dust and water projections (IP66).
AirXroad is E-marked ECE R10 (EMC standard for electronic equipment installed aboard vehicle), and can thus be installed in full safety aboard of all on-road equipment.

RailTrack
RailTrack is a ruggedized WiFi access point specially designed for railway and certified for trackside and tunnel infrastructures. It can be connected to the ground network through either Gbps fiber optic or copper connections.
Thanks to an oversized CPU architecture (Quad-Core 64-bit) and three independent 802.11ac high-speed radio cards (3 streams) delivering more than 900 Mbps (UDP) each, RailTrack access point allows the construction of high performance architectures such as “wireless backbone” to overcome Ethernet cables along tracksides and tunnels : 2 radios can be used to build the wireless infrastructure on the trackside while the 3rd radio is used as local AP to provide communication between trackside and onboard clients (train).
Featuring an IP66 housing and rugged M12 connectors, RailTrack is ideal for wall mounting in a tunnel or mast mounting outdoor. Its all-in-one compact footprint integrates 3 radios, a 4-port Ethernet switch (2 x 10/100/1000 on M12 connectors & 2 x Gigabit optic fiber on SFP slots) with optional Ethernet bypass (daisy chain topologies) and an AC power supply. A removable key (C-KEY) allows the device configuration backup. It can thus be instantaneously restored on site in less than 2 minutes in case of maintenance or replacement of a RailTrack.
RailTrack (trackside AP unit) combined to RailBox (on-board WiFi unit) is the comprehensive connected architecture for “train-to-trackside communication in motion” by ACKSYS. This ACKSYS solution allows reliable and very high-speed broadband train-to-trackside communications, particularly suited to broad band radio system (BBRS) for real-time video surveillance, internet on board for passengers as well as CBTC applications.

RailBox
RailBox is a rugged device designed for railway and light rail applications. It can be mounted in trains, subways, trams or in any equipment that requires robustness and high bandwidth for innovative services on the move.
RailBox can be implemented by system integrators and rail vehicle manufacturers who are seeking to establish reliable, efficient and agile network for:
- Uninterrupted train-to-trackside communications (CBTC, CCTV, VoIP, preventive maintenance, PIS…)
- Train and carriage coupling to establish an end-to-end Ethernet and IP backbone
- Passenger services like onboard WiFi, videostreaming, entertainment, infotainment…
The device relies on the multi-streams MIMO technology that contributes to an expanded coverage, higher data throughput and increased radio link reliability.
It fulfills the most severe requirements in terms of operating environment: from -25°C to +70°C (extended : -40°C to +70°C), shock and vibration proof, protection against dust and water projections (IP66).
Applications | Harsh environment / Railway |
Radios | 1 or 2 (depending on the model) |
WiFi standards | 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (WiFi 5) |
Ethernet interface | 2 x 10/100/1000 |
Power supply | Dual insulated redundant input (24 to 110 VDC* or 12 to 36 VDC*) or PoE +* (*Depending on the model) |
