Cellular data networks fuel broadband growth

Cellular wireless networks are undergoing a transformation as emerging technologies push the speeds achievable for data transmission into the multi-megabit broadband category. By 2012 mobile operators worldwide will generate over US$400 billion in mobile broadband (i.e. data) revenues, accounting for almost 50% of all mobile service revenues in that year [Informa, Feb 2008]. The core mobile technologies utilized will include 3G HSPA, EV-DO and Mobile WiMAX but will also include other variants such as TD-CDMA, HC-SDMA and FLASH-OFDM, and will mostly operate in licensed spectrum between 450MHz and 2.5GHz.

Outdoor Networks using Moovbox Broadband Gateways

Using cellular backhaul for Wi-Fi and Ethernet

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). With an Fleet Connect broadband gateway these connections can be used to 'bridge' between the cellular data network and a wide varitey of services including Wi-Fi hotspots, outdoor public safety IP-CCTV, and vehicle telematic systems.

Moovbox F100 for fixed street-level broadband networks

At Fleet Connect we've leveraged the presence of wide area cellular data networks to develop innovative yet low-cost devices that can scale to meet the demands of deploying broadband networks for Wi-Fi and Ethernet access over wide areas. The Moovbox F100 outdoor Wi-Fi access point and cellular router is designed to be mounted on utility poles or buildings – wherever there is power. Using cellular data networks to backhaul traffic from each access point removes the need to run Ethernet cabling between devices or plan complex mesh topology in unlicensed spectrum. This dramatically reduces the cost and time to deployment while improving overall reliability.

By supporting multiple SSIDs and VLANs for individual services, the Moovbox F100 can be used to deliver Internet and VoIP to the public while reserving dedicated bandwidth on separate, secure networks for municipal applications. And by prioritizing traffic by type, the Moovbox can maintain quality of service for real-time applications such as public safety IP-CCTV. The Moovbox fits perfectly into the architecture of any metropolitan network.

Moovbox M Series for mobile in-vehicle networks

Delivering Wi-Fi access on moving vehicles within a 2.4GHz mesh network mesh is challenging, especially when the vehicle moves out of Wi-Fi network coverage. That's where the award-winning Moovbox M200 mobile broadband gateway comes in. By using carrier-class mobile networks such as 3G HSPA, TD-CDMA and WiMAX 802.16e, the Moovbox M200 is able to deliver broadband connectivity at over 100km/hr wherever there is carrier network coverage. In addition to public Internet access, by supporting multiple SSIDs and 128-bit encrypted VPNs the Moovbox M200 and M400 offer municipal workers a secure connection on the train, bus, coach or ferrry, as well as inbound access for remote device control. The Moovbox M Series includes built-in GPS tracking, transmitting the device's location over the cellular network for display via any secure web browser. The Moovbox M Series has been successfully deployed on public transport of all types around the world to deliver a complete in-vehicle network solution.
