Utah Transit Authority offers Wi-Fi services on FrontRunner trains

5583 Utah Transit Authority has commissioned the GBS Group (GBS) to equip its FrontRunner trains with fast and reliable Wi-Fi access points to passengers. The technology is based on Eltec's CyBox AP-W (models 1007/1023), which enables mobile Wi-Fi-capable devices to communicate with the Internet on passenger trains, buses or underground trains as well as access to local data and schedule information.

Eltec assisted GBS in the project planning stage, the selection of suitable devices and the implementation of the antennae for the connection of more than 80 clients per Wi-Fi modem.

Within its CyBox AP-W product line, Eltec offers models with one or two Wi-Fi radios in compliance with the IEEE802.11b/g/n/ac standard boasting Wi-Fi bandwidths of up to 2 x 650 Mbit/s with 3 x 3-MIMO.

The integrated wide range power adapter, which is compliant with EN 50155, is designed with the intention of enabling operation at input voltages of 16 to 154 VDC. The CyBox AP-W comes with a PoE input for Class 4 power supply (in compliance with IEEE802.3at).

Personal data for users on the trains is protected against unauthorized access.
