Wireless communication for transportation applications
The versatile PCI Mini Card carrier board G227 is the solution for wireless applications like fleet management or passenger information in the train and other mobile markets.
The CompactPCI Serial card is equipped with three PCIe Mini Card slots in total: two of them for communication via LTE, UMTS, GSM or HSPA – each with two front-sided antenna connectors – and another for WLAN and GPS, for transmission of audio signals or as virtual SIM card.
The integration of GNSS signals with MEN’s PCI Mini Card PX1 as well as the connection of an additional antenna connector at the front is also possible via the third slot.
Particularly for the usage with frequent location or rate-related network changes, ten microSIM cards can be accommodated on the G227. The remote software provided by MEN allows the separate control and the power up and down of the microSIMs.
For use in harsh environments, the G227 works in an operating temperature of -40 to +85°C. In addition, the board is coated against dust and humidity.
