Digi International introduces TX64 5G Rail Router for Intelligent Transportation Systems

High-performance 5G cellular routers offers redundant communications with 4G failover and extensive location-based services features for rugged, onboard rail applications.

HOPKINS, Digi International, one of the leading global providers of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, recently unveiled the Digi TX64 5G Rail, expanding the portfolio of transit routers to include a cellular router specifically designed for rail-transit applications.

“The TX64 5G Rail provides an upgrade for current and future rail systems, leveraging the latest 5G and GNSS technology to drive myriad onboard applications such as pinpoint location accuracy, critical and noncritical traffic segmentation, fare collection, automatic passenger counts, computer-added dispatch, and secure passenger internet access.”

Digi’s new high-performance cellular router features 5G connectivity with 4G failover, rail-grade certifications, and complete integration with Digi’s centralised, intelligent network management platform, Digi Remote Manager, that integrates device-resident software for edge computing and cloud-based management software for unsurpassed resilience, security and usability. Digi TrustFence® provides an advanced security framework for Digi devices.

When deployed, the solution provides rail systems with superior connectivity from a remote desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Users can also use the geofencing capabilities of the onboard Digi TX64 5G Rail device to proactively alert when a rail vehicle is out of bounds, which improves safety and operational efficiency.
