onway solution

Traditional functions, such as monitoring the devices, are combined in a modern back-end system. Using the fleet management system – onway director – MVB can check the current status of all mobile routers at any time. As a result, vehicles can be easily configured, managed and monitored via an intelligent cloud application. This is made possible thanks to an operating system specially developed by onway for network devices.
As for the hardware, MVB uses the certified mobile routers on2800 and on3800 to easily network large fleets.
