Over the last few years, mobile operators have been deploying wide area cellular networks that are capable of transferring data at broadband speeds. These next-generation networks are available in many countries worldwide and, where coverage is available, offer transport operators the opportunity to deliver high-speed Internet connections to moving vehicles. The technology most commonly used to deliver this service is 3G HSPA (high speed Packet Access). Typically, download speeds of 1 to 2 megabits per second are achievable in static sites, metropolitan and suburban areas, and along major roads between towns and cities. Within a few years, it is expected that speeds will increase to over five megabits per second, comparable to a home or business broadband connection today.

While the predominant users of mobile data services will be individual business or consumer subscribers, the new generation of wireless networks can deliver broadband connectivity to locations where wireline services cannot (such as to moving vehicles) or where wireline is impractical (such as to outdoor or temporary locations) or has not yet reached. With our broadband gateway these connections can be used to ‘bridge’ between the cellular data network and a wide variety of services including WiFi hotspots, outdoor public safety IP-CCTV, and vehicle telematics systems.
