Introduction

The TAP-213 outdoor wireless AP/client is the ideal ruggedized wireless solution for railway onboard train-to-ground applications such as CCTV and CBTC communications. The TAP-213’s dust-tight, weatherproof design is IP68-rated, allowing you to extend wireless networks to outdoor locations and critical environments. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply and the device can also be powered via PoE for easier deployment. The TAP-213 is compliant with industrial standards and railway approvals covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and
vibration. With many hardened industrial-grade features, the TAP-213 will provide stable and reliable wireless connectivity, especially for railway onboard environments.
