Train Control, Onboard Data, and Positioning. One Rail Mount.
The SMWG-PTC consolidates the three independent RF functions used by many rail-vehicle systems: Positive Train Control, local Wi-Fi, and active GNSS. One compact surface mount reduces separate rooftop antenna units while preserving dedicated equipment connections.
Dedicated PTC Connectivity: The 220–222 MHz element provides a separate RF path for compatible Positive Train Control equipment.
Independent Onboard Wi-Fi: A second element covers 2400–2485 MHz for local wireless networking without sharing the PTC connection.
Active GNSS Positioning: The GNSS element supplies navigation, tracking, and timing data through a third dedicated cable.
Rail-Ready Environmental Protection: The IP67-rated UV-resistant ASA housing carries IEEE 1478 and EN 61373 transportation qualifications for demanding rail installations.
The SMWG-PTC keeps train control, onboard Wi-Fi, and GNSS independently connected through one compact rail-roof antenna.
