HUBER+SUHNER launches Railway Ethernet Switch, offers secure turn-key rail communication 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.

“With the launch of RES10G, HUBER+SUHNER can offer the market turn-key system solutions,” said Joel Cummings, Head of Solution Engineering Railway at HUBER+SUHNER. “For our customers, this means they can now obtain components for such systems from a single manufacturer. This simplifies both the supply chain, the operation and the troubleshooting process.”

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.

The solution will be exhibited for the first time at InnoTrans in hall 2.2, booth 250, which will be held in Berlin from September 24-27.
