About Us
EN 50155, EN 50121-4 & Railway Computing
Impulse have the industry insight and technology know-how to help UK rail industry integrators innovate with connectivity, communication and monitoring solutions.
Robust Computing Solutions for Rolling Stock and Wayside
Computing is playing an increasingly vital role in helping TOCs deliver the best possible customer experience while protecting tight margins and meeting regulatory demands. It also has a role to play in protecting staff and equipment. With extensive experience in the sector, Impulse combines expertise with technology partnerships to offer class-leading devices to integrators who want reliable, repeatable and robust solutions.
Wide Temperature
Designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures such as -40°C to 70°C.
Wide Voltage
Supports fluctuating railway power inputs, ensuring stable performance, including a wide voltage range such as 24V to 110V DC input.
Shock & Vibration Resistant
Resists shock and vibration through rugged construction, solid-state components, and compliance with EN 50155.
Rail-Approved Computing For Your Application: Where Our Solutions Work
Driver Advisory Systems (DAS)
Driver Advisory Systems (DAS) are increasingly common on UK rolling stock, providing real-time information to help drivers operate more efficiently. These systems typically include a certified HMI or display, paired with an EN 50155-compliant computer, located in the driver’s cab. We supply the industrial PCs, HMIs, and displays required for these systems, supporting integrators and train manufacturers in developing DAS solutions that may include scheduling, engineering data, and DOO (Driver Only Operation) information.
CCTV and Video Surveillance
Whether you are installing for passenger security or you are a plant operator with a requirement to improve the visibility of your operations, we can supply, build and configure a system or bill of materials perfect for your application demands. We offer a wide range of EN 50155 and EN 50121 network video recorders, IP CCTV cameras and both layer 2 and layer 3 networking devices suitable integration into rail CCTV systems. Talk to our technical sales team for more information.
Predictive Maintenance
Modern railway systems rely on predictive maintenance to enhance safety, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs. By collecting and analysing real-time data from onboard sensors and trackside equipment, predictive maintenance systems can detect early signs of wear or failure before they lead to critical issues. Industrial computers with advanced processing power, wide temperature tolerance, and robust connectivity can support these systems across rail networks.

Wi-Fi and Passenger Connectivity
As the average commuter carries at least two Wi-Fi enabled devices, operational technology is increasingly using Wi-Fi as a gateway to access engineering data on the railway. Whether you want to install passenger Wi-Fi or access condition monitoring data, we have a range of EN 50155 access points and bridges to enable your railway Wi-Fi project.

Condition Monitoring
Real-time condition based monitoring in the rail industry is becoming more widely adopted as technology advancement allows for preventative asset maintenance thus reducing downtime and overall cost. Our data acquisition, networking and computer hardware is installed throughout the UK rail network.
Ticketing
We supply hardware to a range of customers involved in ticketing for transport applications, from ticket machine builders to network infrastructure companies who require reliable and harsh environment Ethernet switches and device servers. We can also supply LCD Panels, custom cables and embedded single board computers coupled with our technical design services to a range of machine manufacturers.
Level Crossing Monitoring
Industrial computers play a critical role in modern level crossing monitoring systems by enabling real-time data processing, video analytics, and AI-based object detection. With rugged edge AI computing, these systems can automatically identify obstructions, predict risks, and alert operators or activate safety protocols, even in harsh outdoor environments. This enhances safety and helps prevent accidents at rail-road intersections.
EN 50155 Computing for Harsh Environments
Our rail-approved industrial device range includes devices certified under EN 50155, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in harsh railway environments. EN 50155 certification guarantees resistance to temperature extremes, shock, vibration, and humidity, making our solutions ideal for onboard railway applications.
EN 50121-4 Computing for Uninterrupted Railway Signalling
Our EN 50121-4 certified products ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for railway signalling and trackside applications, minimising interference with other electronic systems in railway environments.
