It uses all available links to reduce roaming costs and optimise available bandwidths.

CyBox GW-P comes with data speeds of 600 Mbit/s (downloads) and 200 Mbit/s (uploads). A Wave 2 module provides data speeds of up to 1.7 Gbit/s and 4x4 MIMO as well as two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for local communication.

The solution is compatible with the railway standard EN 50155. Passengers’ mobile Wi-Fi-capable devices can communicate with the internet while on a train, coach or trams. Personal data is protected from unauthorised access via a configurable firewall.
