Ruggedcom RSL910<br />
Reducing cabling costs<br />
Siemens has extended its portfolio of rugged network<br />
components with the Ruggedcom RSL910. The compact<br />
Ethernet switch is designed to operate in harsh environments<br />
with widely varying climatic and environmental conditions.<br />
Withstanding extreme temperatures from –40°C<br />
up to +85°C, vibration and shock and therewith offering<br />
high reliability, this device offers high reliability for transportation<br />
applications such as rail and ITS (intelligent<br />
transportation systems).<br />
The RSL910 helps meet the growing demand for Ethernet<br />
in roadside and wayside cabinets by eliminating the need<br />
for multiple switches. Customers can reduce cabling costs<br />
by reusing existing two-wire copper cabling. The two<br />
Gigabit SFP (small form factor pluggable) and the two<br />
EoVDSL2 (Ethernet over VDSL2) uplinks offer a migration<br />
path to fiber optics when required. The six copper Fast<br />
Ethernet interfaces allows users to connect multiple end<br />
devices directly to the RSL910 without the need for additional<br />
network equipment.<br />
The small form factor of the Ruggedcom RSL910 makes it<br />
easy to deploy in space limited cabinets, and it can also be<br />
mounted directly on a DIN rail. To further simplify installation<br />
in existing cabinets, the switch supports multiple<br />
AC-and DC-voltage input ranges.<br />

NEW FEATURES<br />
• Rugged layer 2 switch with two<br />
EoVDSL2 uplinks<br />
• Use of existing copper cabling<br />
infrastructure to reduce cabling costs<br />
• Suitable for use in transportation<br />
applications,such as intelligent<br />
transportation systems (ITS)<br />
The RM1224 router comes with an integrated 4 port switch,<br />
which can be used to connect up to four Industrial Ethernet<br />
devices. In addition, it comes with two antenna connections,<br />
making it possible for operators to use multiple receive and<br />
transmit paths (antenna diversity) and thus increase both<br />
signal quality and bandwidth. The device has one digital IO<br />
(input and output) for applications such as setting up secured<br />
VPN connections at the push of a button. Furthermore, it is<br />
equipped with its own redundant power supply for bridging<br />
short-term power failures.<br />
The router offers downlink speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s and<br />
uplink speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s via LTE. When LTE is not<br />
available, the Ruggedcom RM1224 supports HSPA+<br />
(Evolved High-Speed Packet Access) and EVDO (Evolution<br />
Data Optimized) communications. Depending on the<br />
available mobile service provider infrastructure, this<br />
enables high transmission rates to end devices (downlink)<br />
of up to 14.4 Mbit/s and back to the telecommunications<br />
network (uplink) of up to 5.76 Mbit/s. This allows users<br />
to connect to IP-based end-devices around the globe.<br />
With regard to security, the RM1224 offers an end-to-end<br />
communication link encryption also via either IPsec or<br />
OpenVPN, and has an integrated firewall.<br />
