Robustel is one of the world’s leading 4G / 5G router manufacturers with hundreds of thousands of devices shipped annually. By leveraging existing economies of scale, developing new software features in their cloud-based control platform, and by forging integrations with best-in-class partners, Robustel has created a Passenger Wi-Fi System that can benefit both transportation operators and passengers.
But how does Robustel’s Passenger Wi-Fi System work? And what are the advantages of using it? Let’s find out.
How Robustel’s Passenger Wi-Fi System Works
Robustel’s Passenger Wi-Fi System uses innovative technology and infrastructure to connect people while traveling. The system allows the passengers’ and drivers’ devices to connect to an access point, which is a powerful router that provides a reliable internet connection. The router can also be connected to other devices onboard, such as ticketing machines, DVRs, and other subsystems.
The router is either the R2110 or the R5020 cellular router, which are E-mark certified products that support dual 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and have 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports. These routers have achieved E-Mark certification for in-vehicle use and support GNSS positioning.
The router is managed by the Robustel Cloud Management System (RCMS), which is a cloud-based router management platform that also serves as a fully-fledged Passenger Wi-Fi System for total fleet management. RCMS allows operators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the routers remotely, as well as to set up a captive portal for user authentication, bandwidth allocation, quality of service management, and security protocols.
Robustel has also integrated with CleanBrowsing, one of the world’s best content filtering providers, to provide a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective content filtering service. Content filtering is mandatory on many public Passenger Wi-Fi Services, as it ensures that the internet access is safe and appropriate for all users. This also allows you to apply to become Friendly WiFi certified and show your passengers that they can enjoy a safe WiFi experience onboard.
Robustel does not supply SIM cards, but can help to provide technical and commercial consultancy on the SIM type required. Robustel also leverages the network provider’s APN for internet breakout, which keeps the data costs low.
Robustel’s Passenger Wi-Fi System is easy to install and maintain, as it requires minimal hardware and software components. Robustel’s support team is on hand to provide RF, electrical, and mechanical advice to achieve a successful outcome.
