In today’s fast-paced public bus transport environment, reliable onboard connectivity forms the backbone of efficient operations. Yet, staying future-proof can be a challenge.
In this context, there are some best practices to help protect your investment when selecting Wavecom Technologies Connected Bus Solution, which includes the installation of a Wavecom Modular Gateway onboard a bus.
Best Practices
- Opt for Industrial-Grade Components: High-quality, rugged equipment handles vibrations, temperature shifts, and other harsh conditions—minimizing replacements and downtime.
- Choose Flexible Integrations: The easier your connectivity platform can link to ticketing, CCTV, passenger Wi-Fi, and other systems, the less headache you’ll have when new requirements emerge.
- Focus on Resiliency: A robust network means fewer disruptions, happier passengers, and smoother workflows for both Bus Operators and Systems Integrators.
- Cybersecurity: Tunnel protocols (SD-WAN), security policies and other mechanisms are used to prevent possible attacks on the network. In addition, the Wavecom Modular Gateway can optionally integrate Security Agents that run on their embedded system, delivering high-performance, resilient connectivity alongside end-to-end, real-time secure communication for all applications onboard a bus.
By adopting a strategic, forward-thinking approach, Bus Operators, Systems integrators, and Distributors can ensure minimal downtime, maintain high passenger satisfaction, and truly protect their investments for the long haul.
