Based on many years of experience in the field of train radio, Funkwerk has developed a 5G-based cab radio. The compact next-generation cab radio is used in modern mobile radio and railway communication systems (4G/5G).

The device CRLT.50 is housed in a standard double DIN housing and offers telephony and data services. The software system is based on Android or optionally on Linux. The modern touch interface allows practically self-explanatory and ergonomic use. The product is designed for use on railway vehicles, among other things. The current version supports 3G, 4G and 5G mobile voice and data services, including the option for Mission-critical applications (MCX) was realised.

In addition to an integrated eSIM, it can be operated with a publicly available SIM card and is designed as an all-in-one unit for fixed installation on vehicles. In addition to the mobile communications interface for 3G/4G and 5G, other interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, WIFI, Bluetooth1 as well as a handset, a loudspeaker and a multi-purpose interface for inputs and outputs. The installation of third-party applications is possible and can be smoothly integrated into existing or new infrastructure systems if the applications are based on Android.

A Funkwerk MCX (mission critical) application is available. Customised applications or adaptations can also be provided by Funkwerk or third parties. The system is designed to support future 5G releases and will be customised for future services such as group communication. In addition, a range of accessories such as handsets and external antennas are available.
