Introduction
The TAP-213 outdoor wireless AP/client is the ideal ruggedized wireless solution for railway onboard and train-to-ground applications such as
CCTV and CBTC communications. The TAP-213’s dust-tight, weatherproof design is IP68-rated, allowing you to extend wireless networks to
outdoor locations and critical environments. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply and the device can
also be powered via PoE for easier deployment. The TAP-213 is compliant with the mandatory test items of the EN 50155 standard to ensure
suitability for rolling stock applications. With many hardened industrial-grade features, the TAP-213 will provide stable and reliable wireless
connectivity, especially for rail onboard environments.
Features for Critical Environments
• IP68-rated metal housing and -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature
• Anti-vibration M12 design with waterproof and dustproof connectors
• PoE and dual DC power inputs
• High-power 400 mW (max.) radio
• Wide range power input from 24 to 110 VDC
• Client-based Turbo Roaming handover time less than 150 ms with 3 channels and WPA2
• Controller-based Turbo Roaming handover time (available only when used with the WAC-1001 or WAC-2004) less than 50 ms with 3 channels
and 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/

3. DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channel support: In AP mode, when a radar signal is detected, the device will automatically switch to another channel.
However, according to regulations, after switching channels, a 60-second availability check period is required before starting the service.
4. Due to a limitation in the receiver sensitivity performance for channels 153 and 161, it is recommended to avoid using these channels in your critical applications.
