What is RaSTA?

RaSTA (Railway Safe Transport Application) is a communication protocol according to EN 50159 that enables secure data transmission in railway applications. It forms the basis for EULYNX communication between interlockings and field elements.

Features & Benefits

The RaSTA stack has been developed to meet the highest standards in safety-critical railway applications.

SIL4 Compliance

Designed according to EN 50159 to meet the highest safety requirements in railway operations.
