Product Summary
The Ibex-3520 is a concurrent triple-band 802.11be Wi-Fi 7 access point for onboard rail and stationary applications. It supports 2x2 MU-MIMO, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), band steering, client and multi-AP steering, and 4K-QAM modulation, delivering reliable, efficient high-speed data transfers suitable for passenger hotspot applications, remote maintenance access, data offloading, or integration into a Train Control and Management System (TCMS) network.

Rugged Design for Rail Environments
The Ibex family is engineered to withstand the tough environment onboard trains, including constant vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity, and demanding electromagnetic conditions. The device features a compact metal form factor, very high MTBF, IP66 protection, high interface isolation allowing direct connectivity to vehicle auxiliary power, surge protection, and a GORE-TEX® membrane to prevent internal condensation.

Compliance and Security
The Ibex-3520 undergoes independent type testing to ensure compliance with standards including EN 50155. Powered by IbexOS, it incorporates advanced cybersecurity features and receives regular cybersecurity updates.
