Connected vehicles and real-time communication

Connected vehicles, anywhere, anytime

Rapidly evolving technologies and growing demand for a more attractive, connected transport offer are placing buses and tramways at the heart of digital transformation.

The connectivity solutions offered by ACKSYS meet these needs by providing robust, reliable and secure WiFi & cellular routers. These routers enable the continuous transfer of data from in-vehicle services (video protection, VoIP, passenger counting and information, Open Payment, operating assistance systems, etc.) to operators’ operations centers.

Controlling this connectivity is crucial to guaranteeing proper sizing and transfer quality, while ensuring the end-to-end security of transport operators’ IT networks.

In this context, and in line with the recommendations of the ITxPT organization, ACKSYS WiFi 6 and 5G routers make it possible to move away from siloed networks in favor of a modern, managed and shared embedded IP architecture. This allows to :

  • Avoid multiplication of on-board equipment (routers, antennas, telephone subscriptions, etc.),
  • Reduce and control deployment and maintenance costs,
  • Enhance the security of operators’ IT networks, as required by European NIS 2 regulation.

Logiciel d'administration WaveManager

WaveManager is a centralized tool that simplifies the supervision of an infrastructure using ACKSYS products, making the network administrator’s job easier.

It lets you configure, monitor, troubleshoot and manage network deployments of ACKSYS equipment, either locally or remotely.

  • Centralized administration
  • Simplified deployment and configuration
  • Single or grouped parameterization and updates
  • Complete equipment monitoring: geolocation, tracing, alarms, graphical representations
  • Security: user management, passwords, HTTPS certificates
  • Preventive maintenance: real-time monitoring and recording of indicators (signal level and quality, roaming thresholds, channel congestion, throughput, latency, etc.) to anticipate and prevent unexpected breakdowns

TOWARDS CONNECTED MOBILITY

The digitalization of transport has become a major challenge for operators, unions and organizing authorities. The main objectives are to ensure passenger safety and comfort, while facilitating the operation of the urban network. In this context, the on-board network becomes an essential vehicle function, playing a central role in its smooth operation. Given that each vehicle's on-board network is an integral part of its IT network, IDELIS has opted for an ACKSYS AirWan solution. This is resolutely secure, thanks to router authentication, data encryption, secure VPN tunnels and firmware integrity checks. What's more, it is specifically designed for urban transport, with ECE R10 certification, ITxPT compliance, compactness and resistance to shock and vibration. Télécharger
