Wireless That Just Works

cnReach N550 A-Block Radio (896/935 MHz)

Fully integrated into the single-pane-of-glass cnMaestro™ Network Management platform, cnReach™ helps bridge the IT/OT sides of complex organizations.

For outdoor critical infrastructure operations, cnReach transports process monitoring and control data from remote sensors or RTU/PLCs back to the operations center, supporting real-time automated decision making and ongoing analytics.

Manufactured in the United States, the cnReach A-Block radio is designed specifically for telco and signaling applications in the North American rail industry. cnReach A-Block has a tailored UI to make it easy to align the configuration to the national A-block channel plan and has been tested to AREMA standards for shock and vibration roadbed environments.
