LTE

In December 2010, Verizon launched LTE across a number of US cities. Promising 10x faster speeds over 3G networks, 4G LTE will enable users to send and receive data faster than ever before. Where 3G provide downloads at 0.6-1.4Mbps, Verizon 4G LTE will offer 5-12 Mbps. Video, images, photographs, voice. It also becomes reality with 4G.

onBoard Mobile Gateway is 4G-Ready!

In Motion’s onBoard Mobile Gateway (oMG) can be deployed in your fleet vehicles to create a mobile hotspot in and around the vehicle, connecting all your wired and wireless devices.

Support for Public and Private LTE

The oMG enables you to put up to 6 network cards, including public LTE and private LTE (700MHz) and connect to these new networks – seamlessly and securely. With the flexibility to have multiple networks, the oMG seamlessly and securely selects the best network available for your applications.

Multi-Network Operation

For multi-network applications, you can specify policies to determine which network is used for each application, ensuring that your video doesn’t get transmitted over 3G.

Depot-Wi-Fi Communications

At the depot, the oMG can connect to Wi-Fi access points, ensuring end-to-end capacity and security.

“Make before break”

The oMG can make a connection with a new network before the current connection fails.

Fallback to 3G outside the 4G Footprint

When vehicles are outside the LTE “footprint”, the oMG takes care of switching the traffic to available cellular networks – with no need for user intervention.

Get alerts to avoid surcharges for bandwidth overages

In addition, LTE will likely bring new pricing schema that will be based on usage. The onBoard Mobile Gateway can monitor usage of each network, and alert you when you’re nearing your monthly limit.

So don’t wait! If you’ve got mission critical applications that need 4G, you can confidently deploy them in your mobile environment today using the onBoard Mobile Gateway! No need to wait for LTE devices for your mobile workforce. In Motion Technology has you covered!
