Stable vehicle-to-land connection

Reliable vehicle-to-land connections on public transport – anywhere, anytime.

Challenge

A stable vehicle-to-land connection is particularly important in public transportation. Buses, trains and cable cars must be in constant contact with the land side to transmit their current location, receive driving instructions, control traffic lights or provide passengers with up-to-date information. Passengers are often also offered WiFi access, which requires high bandwidths. However, the vehicles are constantly on the move and dead spots are not uncommon. Constant switching between 5G, 4G, 3G and 2G also presents transport companies with challenges.

Solution

In order to guarantee a stable and high-performance vehicle-to-land connection, all uplinks must be actively monitored and data traffic must be adapted to the actual conditions. This active control of traffic must be carried out from both the vehicle and the land side. A modern ICT architecture therefore requires close cooperation between the vehicle routers and the landside VPN gateways. Only in this way can both passengers and employees be constantly provided with digital services along the entire travel chain.

Why onway?

One of our unique selling points is the parallel use of several connections, i.e. several mobile phone providers and other technologies (WLAN, satellite, etc.). Our overall solution consists of vehicle routers and VPN gateways, which measure all connection qualities and distribute the data traffic proportionally. In this way, we guarantee a vehicle-to-land connection with the highest possible bandwidth, redundancy and low latency. The various data streams are protected by virtualized network functions (VLAN, VRF), making them independent of the hardware and of each other.

Our approach

Our mobile routers enable low-threshold and uncomplicated commissioning thanks to auto-provisioning: you order the router, connect it, insert a SIM card and the router then automatically connects to the cloud. It applies the current configuration and software and within minutes your router is online and ready for use. You can monitor the status of the router and the connected systems at any time in the central management portal.
