Key Features

  • Built-in Isolation: The WID features an AREMA-compliant DC-DC converter, ensuring effective isolation ofthe radio from the powering battery.Built-in storage - up to 128GB

  • Security First: The WID prioritizes security, employing multiple encryption points at both the radio and data content levels to keep all communications secure.

  • Dual Band Connectivity: Benefit from dual-band connectivity with 900MHz LoRa and 2.4GHz data radios for enhanced versatility.

  • Multiple Connections: Communicate effortlessly with up to 4 peers, enabling both simple point-to-point interconnections and sophisticated data hopping and mesh sharing structures.

  • Built-In Internal Logic: Apply logic to local or remote I/O using the WIDs' integrated internal logic gates, Including AND, OR, inverts, timers, and latches.

  • Diagnostics: Easily share communication diagnostics among peers, allowing you to locally view a connected peer's diagnostics for a comprehensive understanding of interconnection performance from both sides.

  • Flexible Form Factors: Choose from single-card or multi-card form factors, with the option to populate cards based on your specific requirements. Choose from a range of cards, each designed to meet the demands of different environments. Whether it's railroad-rated cards for rail-specific applications or traffic-rated cards for traffic-related functionalities, the WID allows you to effortlessly swap and configure cards based on your project requirements.
