The Westermo RT-370 is a Wireless LAN Infrastructure Access for industrial or wayside network infrastructure. It ensures reliable, continuous high-speed connection to industrial wireless clients. The RT-370 is designed to withstand the tough environment in for instance wayside applications, exposing the switch to constant vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity and a demanding electromagnetic environment. The radio module is calibrated to ensure high RF sensitivity (even at high data rates/modulations), stable RF links, optimised DFS handling, etc.

The RT-370 provides an additional monitoring interface for out of band radar detection and monitoring. With this feature, surrounding WLAN devices and other interferences along the whole frequency band can be monitored, without adversely affecting the communication performance.

A GORE-TEX® membrane prevents internal condensation. High-level isolation between all interfaces enables direct connectivity to mains and protects against overvoltage and spikes/surges. IP66 protection prevents ingress of water and dust even at the quick connect QMA connectors.

An overall optimised design results in a compact form factor in combination with very high MTBF for easy integration and low lifecycle cost. Thorough type testing at independent labs certifies the compliance to a wide range of standards, not least EN 50121-3-2, FCC and EN 300 440 (the latter opening the possibility to use the 5.8 GHz band in the EU region). Meeting the requirements of the railway signaling market,the RT-370 is very well suited for deployment in any other application with severe operating conditions and tough environments, for instance in the mining and shipping industry.
