Taipei, Taiwan, October 15, 2025—Digitalization, driven by globalization, is rapidly reshaping the rail industry. As the sector evolves, it faces a pivotal moment—navigating the fast-moving demands of digital transformation while meeting increasingly strict cybersecurity regulations. To assist rail operators and systems integrators with these emerging challenges, Moxa Inc., an IRIS silver-rated provider of rail communications solutions, introduced a new range of EN 50155-certified products, including onboard switches, onboard computers, wireless communications, and IP cameras. This lineup aims to address operators' pressing needs for digitalization and cybersecurity.
Upfront Challenges for Operators and System Integrators
Digital solutions in the rail industry are changing how networks operate, are maintained, and affect passengers. This shift requires new tools, more bandwidth, and enhanced real-time connectivity for train control and monitoring systems (TCMS), predictive maintenance, safety condition monitoring, multimedia passenger information (PIS), and many other systems.
With the expansion of data processing and digital interconnectivity, cybersecurity must be a core design element. Prioritizing cybersecurity is key for resilient operations and infrastructure, as well as ensuring compliance with regulations, such as the EU’s NIS2 Directive and the U.S. TSA Security Directives. Furthermore, cybersecurity is essential for meeting the built-in security requirements of the forthcoming FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System), the next-generation global rail communication standard.
Solutions for the Future of Rail
Using a security-hardened networking framework built on a secure-by-design approach, Moxa’s new rail product line helps operators build a flexible, scalable, and secure foundation for their digitalization plans. Moreover, the product line is designed with the limited onboard space and power constraints in mind, addressing common challenges that complicate deployment. The new product lineup for rail includes:
- TN-4500B Series onboard switches—switches with 8–28 ports, up to 8 GbE uplinks, and a 150 W PoE budget to power expanding onboard networks and improve performance
- V3400 Series onboard x86 computers—multicore computing platform with advanced multiwireless connectivity (dual 5G plus LTE/Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6), and integrated security, ideal for high-performance applications and intelligent control deployments
- V1200 Series onboard arm computers—slim, compact I/O design with industry-leading dual-wireless 5G/LTE and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for retrofits and lightweight edge computing with limited space and phased installation requirements
- TAP-M310R Series Train-to-ground access points and WAC-M300 Series wireless controllers—dual-band Wi-Fi 6-based connectivity with under-50 ms seamless handover for uninterrupted service, featuring RF status monitoring, centralized device management, and advanced diagnostic and troubleshooting functions
- VPort 07-3 Series IP cameras—IP66 rugged, 3-megapixel image and H.265 compression for clear, bandwidth-efficient video
All products meet strict international railway standards, including EN 50155 and EN 45545. They are developed according to the IEC 62443-4-1 secure development life cycle, enabling quick deployment across various applications to support digital transformation, ranging from equipment upgrades to complete system integration.
“Moxa's latest product offerings for rail once again highlight our unwavering commitment to rail customers by providing a unified, secure, and futureproof foundation and ensuring product longevity for their digital transformation,” said Samuel Chiu, head of the transportation business group at Moxa Inc. “We’ve worked closely with rail operators and system integrators to address evolving standards and regulations, retrofit challenges, and new applications. This collaboration allows us to turn customer feedback into innovative solutions that accelerate digitalization in the rail industry.”
