Railway Box PC is protected for railway use with EN50155
certification, TX compliance, extended temperature support, 1.5kV
isolated power, and M12 connectors for Fast Ethernet, USB, and

“The Linux-compatible MicroSpace MPCX28R is suitable for
passenger infotainment, security, and other railway applications,

and SCH US15W northbridge/southbridge, the MicroSpace MPCX28R
