The 21st century society is an interconnected community of peoples and “Things” (IoT) where the communication flows across them at incredible speed, faster and faster, and where it becomes harder to distinguish who controls who or what. Vehicles add their pace to this equation becoming, from one side, a tool that combines usefulness and fun, but from the other, loose control and danger both for passengers and pedestrians. The way to enhance the formers while mitigate the latter is the key to success to enjoy a peaceful and perfect journey.

That is why vehicles have been evolving for decades into an increasingly interconnected system of cooperative and connected device that provides comprehensive intelligent communications either between vehicles and vehicles (V2V), or between vehicles and offroad infrastructures along the road (V2X), or within the vehicle itself.

Connected systems on the road involves communications that are eventually based on cellular and cloud-based technologies. The challenge of reliable communications is therefore related to how good is the cellular coverage along the track as well as to the resilience of the receiver to recover from lack of signal when it may occur. 4G LTE has already brought the mobile connectivity to high standards of reliability with its wide deployment in the market and a technology that allows to achieve data throughput comparable to a cabled WAN.

However, 5G will be the real paradigm change factor that can shape the future of the automotive industry. With 5G, QoS provisioning will be brough to the next level through dedicated bearers within the network slicing architecture, 

The automotive industry is changing toward a model of interconnected systems that can provide higher level of security and comfort to passengers either travelling on a short urban bus route or on a longer journey for business or pleasure. Connectivity is essential and has become a requirement regardless of why and how you travel on the road, by private vehicle or public service.

Teldat’s solutions for automotive systems provide real time communication services to vehicles offering higher standards of security and reliability offering compelling benefits for the passengers and staff. Teldat’s routers enhance the communication system are designed to provide the state-of-art 4G, 5G and WiFi6 technologies and are prepared to endure the rigorous conditions that operating aboard a moving vehicle demands, as strong shocks, high vibrations, extreme temperatures, and humidity conditions.

In addition, the high level of flexibility of the routes enable to cover different needs and use case with just one platform that can be scaled to connect up to four different concurrent Mobile Network Operators in either active-active or in active-backup mode. And also, the GPS tracking services embedded in the router add those positioning information that, together with data gathered from the whole platform, can used in a post processing analytics system.

H2-Automotive+ is Teldat’s multi-service telecommunications solution especially designed for vehicles with multi-WWAN requirements. H2-Automotive+ provides 4G/LTE/LTE-A bandwidth and a Wi-Fi access point, as well as client functionalities with aggregation and redundancy options, advanced network security mechanisms, or multi-SIM compatible with the simultaneous use of several mobile network operators.

Additionally, the router has a power-on delay feature that allows active connections to be maintained for a certain period of time when the vehicle’s engine is turned off. This translates into data savings without data loss.

Teldat’s R&D&I team invests in software tools that supplement our on-board devices offered. The latest technologies, advanced cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and remote router fleet management are some of the software solutions offered by Teldat.

The last generation devices that are part of Teldat’s portfolio are capable of running artificial intelligence on the “edge”. This means they do not need to send data to a cloud datacenter. The device itself runs the artificial intelligence models via local processing.

This yields a great advantage in terms of operating efficiency. The client only receives the net data they are interested in reviewing. This translates into speedy  processing and greater security levels (since data flows don’t need to be sent to a private or cloud server). However, to do so, the device reduces the number of bits sent to the server.

How can passengers enjoy their on-board journey.
