RailHawk

Railway RF Cable & Antenna Analyzer

Ensure uninterrupted communication on the rails with Bird’s RailHawk® Railway Test Kit. Our comprehensive kit empowers technicians to maintain high-quality service networks, avoiding downtime and unnecessary expenses. Say goodbye to trial and error and optimize your communication infrastructure with ease.

Verify & Diagnose Rail Comms Systems

Bird’s RailHawk Railway Test Kits combine a unique set of components specifically designed to support all critical RF systems used in rail operations, including:

• Safety-critical control (PTC, ATCS) at 160, 220, 450, and 900 MHz

• Data offload and telemetry (WiFi, 915 MHz, Cellular)

• Crew voice and remote control (VHF 160 MHz, 450 MHz)

• Positioning and timing (GPS 1575 MHz)

Through VSWR and distance-to-fault (DTF) testing, you can ensure that antennas, cables, and connectors for these systems, critical for maintaining railway communication reliability, are properly matched and free of damage or signal reflections.

Technician Mode

When technicians or those inexperienced with RF measurements will be using RailHawk, the optional Technician Mode software allows an expert to define measurements that are recalled by a user, limiting the chance for errors or wrong configurations. Common Rail measurements come preinstalled. The full functionality of the RailHawk is retained as an Administrator Mode.
