RGW4000 - RET Gateway
Smart Edge Gateway for the RET Measurement System
The RET Gateway (RGW4000) enables integration of external data sources into Parametric’s RET system, providing a robust interface for integration, analysis and transmission of operational and diagnostic data in rail and infrastructure applications.
Function and Use
The gateway collects and processes real-time data from controllers, vehicle recorders, log systems and databases. These data streams are fed into the RET system as measurement channels and made available for analysis, correlation and visualisation. Communication is handled via Ethernet; additional bus interfaces (CAN, MVB, IBIS, etc.) are available on request. Its rugged design and compliance make it suitable for both stationary and mobile use.
Intelligent Data Processing
The built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) enables AI-driven edge analytics, detecting patterns and anomalies in real time without transmitting large volumes of data to central servers. A modern container-based architecture allows multiple analysis applications to run in parallel, securely deployed and updated on demand.

Network and Connectivity
The RGW4000 features a modern and versatile network architecture:
- 1 × Gigabit WAN port, also usable for configuration and functional testing
- 3 × 100 Mbit Ethernet ports for connected systems or sensors
- Optional WLAN for local communication
An integrated hardware switch supports port-based VLANs, enabling secure network segmentation and precise control of data flows.
In addition, the gateway offers redundancy options for modem and power supply, ensuring maximum availability in critical applications.
Communication and Positioning
For reliable and location-aware communication, the gateway is equipped with:
- LTE cellular module
- Integrated GPS receiver
This enables precise time and position referencing, as well as mobile operation in trains, service stations, or along the infrastructure.
