Energy-efficient enterprise-grade optical routers for railway communications

Huawei, NetModule, Parametric, and Moxa offer energy-efficient, enterprise-grade optical and hybrid routers optimized for high-speed, low-latency railway communications.

Huawei Railway Optical Solutions

Huawei provides the Smart Railway Optical Communication Network, featuring the OptiXtrans E6600 and SmartAX EA5800 series. These platforms support TDM, packet, OTN, and fgOTN services, enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency transmission for railway applications. The architecture integrates optical and electrical convergence, allowing multi-service access (PCM, PDH, SDH, PKT, OTN) while maintaining energy efficiency through highly integrated hardware and intelligent network management.

These solutions are suitable for trackside, station, and control center deployments.

Net

Module Railway RoutersNetModule offers railway-grade routers such as the NB3800 and modular LTE/5G/Wi-Fi 6 platforms. These routers provide secure, reliable, and redundant connectivity for passenger information systems, video surveillance, and train-to-ground communications. They are CE-compliant, EN 50155 and EN 45545 certified, and support intelligent link management to optimize energy use while maintaining high availability.

The AP3400 access point ensures future-proof Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for onboard applications. Parametric RAR4000The RAR4000 is a rugged, compact router designed for rail and automotive environments. It supports LTE, optional 5G, Wi-Fi 6, GPS, and managed Gigabit Ethernet, with optional redundant power and communication interfaces.

Its functionally focused architecture avoids unnecessary software overhead, improving energy efficiency while ensuring high reliability in harsh conditions. Secure remote access and VPN tunneling are available for protected communications. Moxa Ethernet Train Backbone (ETB) SolutionsMoxa provides IEC 61375-compliant routers and switches for onboard ETB networks.

The TN-5916 series and AWK-RCC wireless devices enable high-speed, low-latency communication for passenger Wi-Fi, CCTV, and train control systems. These devices are designed for space-limited environments and optimized for energy efficiency while supporting high-density Ethernet connections and seamless integration with train-wide networks.
