Introduction
The AWK-3131A-RTG 2-in-1 industrial AP/client devices are designed specifically for train-to-ground communication and can perform reliably even
when the trains reach a speed of 120 km/h. The AWK-3131A-RTG complies with a portion of EN 50155 specifications, covering operating
temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, making the AWK-3131A-RTG suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
Installation is easy, with either DIN-rail mounting or distribution boxes, and the DIN-rail mounting capability, wide operating temperature range, and
IP30 housing with LED indicators make the AWK-3131A-RTG a convenient yet reliable solution for any rolling stock application.

Advanced Security
• 64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
• Enable/disable SSID broadcasts
• WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.11i support
• IEEE802.1X/RADIUS support
• Powerful filters for access control

Designed for Train-to-Ground Applications

• Client-based Turbo Roaming handover time < 150 ms @ 3 channel with WPA2
• Controller-based Turbo Roaming handover time (available only when used with the WAC-1001 or WAC-2004) < 50 ms @ 3 channels with WPA2
• Multiple roaming parameters for different installation structures and antenna types

1. The Turbo Roaming recovery time indicated herein is an average of test results documented, in optimized conditions, across APs configured with interference-free
20-MHz RF channels, WPA2-PSK security, and default Turbo Roaming parameters. The clients are configured with 3-channel roaming at 100 Kbps traffic load.
Other conditions may also impact roaming performance. For more information about Turbo Roaming parameter settings, refer to the product manual.
2. This product is suitable for rolling stock railway applications, as defined by the EN 50155 standard. For a more detailed statement, click here: www.moxa.com/
