FORTEC UK Launches Axiomtek tBOX210 Railway Platform With 4 2.5GbE Ports

2 articles · Updated · Electropages · Jul 31

Summary

  • FORTEC United Kingdom added the Axiomtek tBOX210 to its transport computing lineup, targeting onboard rail workloads such as AI surveillance, passenger information, driver monitoring and real-time diagnostics.
  • Intel 14th Gen Core processors, DDR5 memory and RAID-capable storage are meant to consolidate multiple train systems into one edge platform that processes data onboard for lower latency and higher reliability.
  • Four M12 X-coded 2.5GbE ports, plus options for 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, support IP cameras, fleet communications, remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
  • A 24-110VDC input range, fanless design and compliance with EN 50155, EN 45545-2 and NFPA 130 position the system for deployment across demanding railway environments and vehicle architectures.

Insights
