Integrated Connectivity Solutions for Public Transport

Integrated Connectivity Solutions for Public Transport

A Revolution in Transport Powered by High-performance Connectivity More than ever, transport operators are expected to provide the best possible quality of service to their passengers, while simultaneously operating with greater efficiency and maintaining safety and security standards on board their vehicles. Mobile Internet Connectivity has an important role to play here. Connectivity allows data to be transmitted to and from the moving vehicle in real-time. This enables systems and services which:

Passenger Experience

Operational Efficiency

Safety & Security

In the quest to meet these three objectives, operators have traditionally resorted to installing multiple pieces of hardware and software on board their vehicles, with various internal processes needed to manage them all.

Additional hardware takes up more space and is inevitably more complex to install. Multiple software systems can add complications when it comes to controlling larger fleets - If particular pieces of software are tied to particular solution providers, then bringing the data together in order to see “the big picture” can be difficult; it can easily create unnecessary work for teams looking to utilise and act on data from across the fleet. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, combining different systems can prove costly, with significant additional expenditure associated with working together with different providers in order to manage a single fleet.

Icomera provides a powerful, easy to install, cost-effective and high-quality solution by deploying a single, integrated hardware and software platform. Powered by high-performance mobile Internet connectivity which utilises our patented technology to deliver the fastest, most secure and most reliable connection available to a moving vehicle, the Icomera platform allows an interconnected eco-system of virtual applications to be built on the foundations of a single piece of hardware, making it easy to deploy new functionality over time and reducing the total cost of ownership. Utilising over 20 years’ experience pioneering connectivity solutions within the industry, we are working to help build for the connected societies of tomorrow, and create a world that is safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

ICONIC Monitoring & Management Software Icomera’s Network Insights and Control (ICONIC) cloud-based software tools have been specially developed for monitoring, managing and optimising your connectivity solution. Through its intuitive, easy-to-navigate and customisable interface, ICONIC allows users to quickly view key metrics, or drill-down into the wealth of data on an account, fleet and system level in order to make granular statistical analyses.

SynAPse AP01 Access Point The SynAPse AP01 is Icomera’s triple-radio rail-grade access point. Acting as a critical component in a vehicle’s communications system, the AP01 utilises 4×4 Multi-User (MU) MIMO technology to meet and exceed the data-heavy requirements of both passengers and operators.

TraXside™ Connectivity Within the rail sector, Icomera TraXside™ is a key component in delivering the next generation of mobile Internet connectivity. Leveraging Icomera’s purpose-designed onboard platform, TraXside helps erase “not spots” along a route by providing continuous, gigabit-speed wireless connectivity to a train.

Safety & Operational Efficiency Leveraging Icomera’s onboard connectivity, we deploy solutions which make travel safer for passengers and more cost-efficient for operators.

Digital Video Surveillance Utilising Icomera’s technology, operators can leverage a vehicle’s onboard Internet connectivity as a backbone for high-resolution digital video surveillance systems and video management software, providing a powerful and fully realised security solution.

Automatic Passenger Counting Our innovative passenger counting solution supports operators in maintaining an overview of key metrics such as carriage load, and can be used to assist passengers in finding a free seat or quiet carriage.

Telematics The Icomera platform delivers the connectivity required to provide real-time access to data feeds from multiple devices and systems installed on board vehicles.

Operators can intelligently use these feeds to derive a range of operational and safety benefits.
