Marco Gerhard was appointed Managing Director of ELTEC Elektronik in mid-November. The company is a business unit of Westermo and part of the listed Swedish Beijer Group.

Optimized small cell communication in trains thanks to the ELTEC CyBox AP-A Access Point with Integrated Compact Antenna from HUBER+SUHNER.

After ELTEC Elektronik has equipped its router family with 5G functionality last year, it is now the turn of the gateways: with the CyBox GW 2-P, ELTEC is now launching its first mobile 5G and WiFi 5 Wave 2 gateway for high-speed communication especially for use in trains.

The availability of stable and secure mobile radio and WiFi services with the highest bandwidths is indispensable for high customer attractiveness in the railway sector. Technical solutions for the 5G network are currently undergoing practical trials. It is expected that the performance offered by the new infrastructure will soon become a reality in practice. Railway customers and passengers can look forward to high-performance, reliable connecti...

The Swedish BEIJER GROUP’s business entity Westermo, a high-tech company specialised in data communications products for mission-critical systems, has acquired 100% of ELTEC Elektronik.

With the CyBox RT 3-W, ELTEC Elektronik has developed a new robust, maintenance-free router certified according to EN 50155 for applications in railway technology. It is especially designed for 5G communication and thus for high-speed Internet applications in the mobile radio standard of the future.

ELTEC Elektronik has developed CANbus interface cards for the communication of safety-critical infrastructure. These interface cards are plugged onto a computer board as mezzanine boards and are controlled via SPI or PCI Express.

ELTEC has focused its product portfolio and realigned its strategy around Smart Connectivity with the target markets rail and road transport. This is also reflected in the newly designed website which has just gone online.

With I/O modules for the multifunction vehicle bus (MVB) ELTEC expands its network solution range. The I/O modules CyBox IO MVB are interface boards that can be integrated into ELTEC products as mezzanine boards. They are used for monitoring the train-internal communication and acquisition of sensor data in trains, subways or trams, and comply with the IEC 61375 standard, thus providing the necessary functions for connecting field and control bus...

ELTEC Elektronik has expanded its successful family of wireless LTE routers with the CyBox RT 2-A, a stable and reliable dual LTE/WiFi system for automotive solutions. The new high-performance system combines a wireless router, access point and integrated switch in a compact and robust housing.

With predictive maintenance, train maintenance cycles can be optimised based on usage and problems can be identified before they occur. This minimises downtimes, reduces operating costs and increases operational safety in rail traffic. ELTEC Elektronik, Splunk and ESE Engineering with DRIVE 1.0 have offered a solution for the efficient, fast and safe acquisition and communication of train operating data and their transmission to higher-level syst...

At the InnoTrans 2018 (Hall 6.1, Booth 225), ELTEC Elektronik is presenting the CyBox AP 3W – the company’s third generation of its CyBox access points. They allow multiple WLAN-enabled devices in a passenger train, bus or on the subway to communicate with the Internet or access local data, such as schedule information, videos, etc. The extended features compared to the previous generation include among other things higher WiFi data r...

The product and technology strategy of ELTEC Elektronik has been realigned. The latest product portfolio focuses, in particular, on the stringent requirements of the transportation segment (railway, overland trucking, air freight and ocean vessels), industrial applications (Industry 4.0, IoT), mobile automation (agricultural implements and construction machinery) as well as medical applications (computer systems, image processing).

Human-machine interfaces (HMI) used in automation and control technology, as well as for interactive passenger information systems or in Point-of-Sale (PoS) applications plus a diverse range of industrial processes, demand powerful and robust operating elements. As a product that perfectly complements the company’s industrial PCs and embedded boards, ELTEC Elektronik AG has now developed a high resolution, robust and easy-to-operate multi-touch...
