5G On-Board Computer
The on-board computer acts as a fully integrated network hub — eliminating the need for additional SIM cards, antennas, or external routers for third-party devices.
Network Functions
- Router
Routes traffic between on-board LAN and the 5G mobile network, managing all connected devices through a single uplink. - Gateway
Acts as the bridge between the vehicle’s internal network and external systems (control center, cloud, third-party services), with protocol translation and firewall capabilities. - DNS
Local DNS resolution for on-board services, enabling reliable name-based addressing even with intermittent connectivity.
Key Benefits
- Single SIM, single antenna
All on-board devices share the 5G connection — no dedicated SIM or antenna required per device. - Easy third-party integration
Validators, POS terminals, cameras, passenger counters and other devices connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi with full internet access. - Reduced cost & complexity
Fewer hardware components, lower recurring SIM costs, simplified cabling and maintenance. - Centralized network management
Traffic prioritization, VPN tunneling, and remote diagnostics managed from a single point of control.
