Wireless Broadband Solutions for Transportation

End-to-End Wireless Broadband Ecosystem
Motorola provides a comprehensive high-speed ecosystem that delivers the secure, pervasive coverage and mobility that enable information to flow seamlessly inside and out. Whether inside a terminal, office or warehouse, or outside in the yard or dock and throughout the supply chain, the MOTOwi4 portfolio empowers you to boost productivity and lower costs while leveraging advanced technologies. These include intelligent transportation systems (ITS), indoor and outdoor video surveillance, automated building management HVAC controls and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for remote capture and control of crucial data.

 

 

 

MOTOwi4 provides robust, scalable, interference-tolerant industrial wireless broadband infrastructure options proven to deliver highly reliable 24/7 availability. MOTOwi4 networks extend the mobile edge to every part of the transportation network, providing:

Enterprise-wide Coverage and Connectivity. MOTOwi4 solutions connect workers and functional areas throughout the organization — from indoor office and warehouse space to outdoor loading docks to remote facilities to ships on the ocean, airplanes at 30,000 feet, remote control locomotives and pipeline connections in the middle of nowhere. The results being stronger competitive advantage gained through better knowledge and increased communications between intermodal transportation partners.

Converged IP Networks. Motorola enables transportation enterprises to offer access to voice, video and data on a single converged IP network. MOTOwi4 network architecture integrates into or extends legacy systems, provides comprehensive element management and offers the industry’s most flexible deployment options including fixed, portable, nomadic and mobile.

Improved Safety. In today’s increasingly security-conscious business environment, digital video surveillance solutions help protect the safety of passengers, cargo containers, personnel and capital equipment. MOTOwi4 solutions support most combinations of mobile and fixed surveillance cameras and access controls, helping protect critical infrastructure and deploying emergency communication and notification systems.

Enhanced Network Security. Employing a wide range of authentification protocols as well as DES and AES over-the-air encryption standards, MOTOwi4 multi-layered transportation businesses maintain the high levels of data confidentiality and integrity today’s business and regulatory environments demand.

Business Continuity Management. MOTOwi4 networks can be used as backup architectures to help operations avoid costly downtime. In addition, they can be quickly deployed when disaster disrupts wired communications. Continuous availability of data also enables businesses to comply with regulatory requirements for asset and shipment traceability and tracking, and to meet partner and customer requirements for real-time, 24/7 visibility of transport and travel information.

Challenges. Changing business conditions are forcing most transportation operations to face a number of crucial challenges, including the needs to:

• Improve supply chain efficiency.
• Lower costs in every part of the value chain.
• Improve customer service.
• Protect and secure people and assets.
• Increase worker productivity.
• Comply with regulatory environments.

Information: The Common Denominator. As you formulate your response strategies, keep in mind that there is one common dominator central to virtually every solution that can successfully meet your challenges.

That common denominator is information, and specifically information visibility. You need up-to-the-minute information that can be accessed by everyone who needs it including on-site and off-site personnel, customers, suppliers, even governments virtually anywhere and everywhere. And how can transportation enterprises capture, connect, communicate and control critical information, more successfully, more efficiently and more cost effectively?

That's where Motorola Wireless Broadband solutions come in.
