Railway operators and system integrators can now use a new Railway Ethernet Switch (RES10G) from HUBER+SUHNER to enhance network performance and security on the train. The new RES10G switch has been specifically designed to connect all on-board Ethernet based devices for applications such as: passenger Wi-Fi, cellular/satellite uplinks and passenger information systems.

With the “Made in Germany” seal of quality, and compliance with the EN 50155 and EN 45545-2 standards, the solution ensures reliable, safe operations in harsh railway environments. RES10G provides up to six 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, for connecting the train backbone via copper or fiber optic cabling, or high-end access points and computer resources. 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports are also used to support Power-over-Ethernet with the latest IEEE802.3bt standard, while the solution offers up to 90W per port to provide data and power to connected devices with a total overall power budget of 120W.

RES10G has been created to work seamlessly with the latest products in the HUBER+SUHNER railway portfolio. This includes the SENCITY® Rail ACTIVE rooftop antenna used for train-to-ground communication and GNSS services, and SENCITY® Rail ACTIVE In-carriage antenna as a Wi-Fi access point. 

RES10G uses the latest software-defined networking methods based on NETCONF and RESTCONF protocol. Also deploying network security features like RADIUS Authentication and Access Control Lists (ACL), RES10G ensures that customers’ networks remain secure, reliable, and effectively managed.
