RAIBOX-ORNX-AA Overview
Not every onboard job needs the biggest module: a secure gateway, a monitoring node or a single camera model mainly needs sealed hardware, isolated I/O and a supply range that suits the fleet. The RAIBOX-ORNX-AA covers that with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB in an EN 50155 computer from the Forecr RAIBOX-ORNX series, rated IP67 for rolling-stock installation.
The 8GB Orin NX gives the RAIBOX-ORNX-AA GPU-accelerated inference for in-cab and exterior cameras, data processing for train control and monitoring systems, and gateway duty between onboard networks. It runs Ubuntu 20.04 with JetPack 5.1 and draws under 40 W. Where larger models or more streams are planned, the 16GB RAIBOX-ORNX-AB uses the same design with twice the memory.
Camera feeds arrive on four GMSL inputs with FAKRA connectors, and two Gigabit Ethernet ports handle network traffic. Field wiring runs through two isolated CAN bus ports, two isolated RS-232/422/485 ports and four isolated digital inputs and outputs, while one USB 3.1 Type-A port, one USB 3.1 Type-C port and an HDMI 2.0 output serve local access. Every field connector is a Phoenix Contact M12: X-coded for both Ethernet ports and A-coded for power, serial, CAN and digital I/O. Storage goes on two M.2 Key-M slots, an M.2 Key-B socket with a SIM slot adds LTE or 5G, an M.2 Key-E socket takes WiFi and Bluetooth, and the supply is 10-75V DC.
Forecr designs the RAIBOX-ORNX-AA to meet EN 50155 and EN 45545-2, with IP67 ingress protection and resistance to shock, vibration and electromagnetic interference. Rated from -25°C to +85°C in a 275 x 200 x 75 mm enclosure, this EN 50155 computer suits train monitoring, railway infrastructure gateways and transport, agriculture or marine vehicles.

Official Forecr USA Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Forecr USA distributor, and the RAIBOX-ORNX-AA is the 8GB Orin NX model in Forecr's railway line, sized for gateways, monitoring and single-model vision. The DSBOX-ORNX places Orin NX in an industrial fanless PC for cabinets, the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN is the dual-LAN version of that design, and the RAIBOX-AGX moves railway projects up to Jetson AGX Orin with 10G Ethernet and eight GMSL2 inputs. All of these run NVIDIA JetPack, so software built on one carries across to the others.
Across our catalog, the RAIBOX-ORNX-AA belongs among our railway computers for onboard work and our in-vehicle computers for transport fleets, agricultural machines and marine craft that face similar vibration and supply ranges. Its Orin NX module also places it with our edge AI computers for on-device inference without a server connection. With the same isolated I/O, GMSL inputs and 10-75V DC input as the 16GB model, it lets a fleet match memory to each role while keeping one design.
