Mobile Hotspot

Fast and reliable Internet
connection on the road

The product can be provided for the accessory
market as well as an OE-version fully integrated
into the vehicle layout.

Always on!

Unlimited Internet access whether in the office
or on the move is fast becoming an essential
requirement for businessmen and everyday
traveller. Now you can offer this rapidly ex­panding customer group reliable Internet ac­cess in your vehicles – with WLAN (Wi-Fi).

Base functionality

Should one connection fail
or scale down the stronger
connection will take over

Safeguard your competitive edge

User benefit

Strengthen existing customer loyalty and win
new travelling customers by providing them
with access to their e-mails and Web browsing
on the move.

Travelling often means the loss of potentially

productive working time. Whether special
project information or a vital e-mail message
is needed fast by a company employee on his
notebook, or if a traveller simply wants to while
away the journey time, the Internet is an almost
limitless source of information and entertain-
ment. WLAN access is guaranteed to attract
these customers.

Additional company benefit

You can also use our two-way high-speed

links for operational enhancements like vehicle
tracking, ensuring adherence to schedules
and remotely viewing and controlling CCTV
equipment.

Connection

via UMTS

WLAN ( Wi-Fi) router with
2 SIM cards scanning for

the best and cheapest

connection

Base functionality

To address this trend, we have developed a user-friendly

router. It provides a stable Internet connection in moving
vehicles like busses or lorries. The connection is of the
highest quality, thanks to our real-time, multiple SIM card
system – and access is always available with the relevant
card.

Future compatibility

To keep up with future telecommunication norms, the rout-

er can be upgraded to upcoming network standards, safe­guarding your investment in the “mobile hotspot”.

Best reception at optimal
cost – wherever you are

During a journey, conventional UMTS
cards often fail, simply because mobile
network availability is constantly chang­ing or interrupted.

Our system uses two SIM cards – and
optimal reception is guaranteed, since
both cards ‘compete’ with one another
to find the strongest signal.

Functionality outlook

Solutions like “tracking and tracing”, vehicle surveillance
as well as “remote diagnosis” of our multiplexing electronic

®

system KIBES

can be implemented due to our open pro-

gramming inter face.

You can also use the two SIM cards to

travel in different countries. By using
special roaming options, the system
automatically finds the relevant card for
the current countr y – and that cuts costs.
