onBoard Mobile Gateway

The Next Generation Wireless Platform for Public Safety

Public Safety: EMS, Fire/Rescue, Law Enforcement, Municipalities, Defense, Transportation

The onBoard Mobile Gateway enables secure, Local Area Networking (LAN) purpose-built for “in-motion” mission-critical applications. The onBoard Mobile Gateway turns vehicles into local area networks, providing truly mobile workers with all the benefits of being connected to the “corporate” network while working in the field.

Through the convergence of next generation LAN and WAN technologies including Ethernet, 802.11/WiFi, 3G and 4G networks including 802.20, authorized users are simply, securely, cost-effectively and transparently connected to standard communications and collaboration applications via virtual private networks (VPNs). Secure end-to-end networking is provided by support for standards-based, IPSec, PPTP-based VPNs and Mobile IP. No client software or hardware installation is required. Authorized users simply turn on their WiFi-equipped laptops or PDAs and connect to the onBoard Mobile Gateway using their proprietary VPN clients or standards-based 802.11i secure wireless networking technology.

Intended for use in challenging multi-user, multi-device, multi-application, and/or multi-network environments, the onBoard Mobile Gateway serves as a communications gateway and integration hub for peripheral devices as well (medical devices, printers, scanners, cameras, other specialized diagnostic equipment etc.). It also serves as a complete remote applications platform with server, open APIs for the deployment of specialized software applications (i.e. records management), and hardened storage for caching, hosting and automatic, bi-directional synchronization of large data stores. This managed distributed network storage (content) presents data to authorized users at speeds many orders of magnitude faster than any of today’s broadband wireless networks, and minimizes the user impacts on the network during peak usage events.

By leveraging standards-based networking technology to provide a more effective approach to mobile broadband networking, the onBoardTM Mobile Gateway provides a secure, reliable and cost effective solution for workers In Motion!
