5G Mobile Connectivity & Applications Routers
Icomera’s mobile connectivity and applications hosting routers are purpose-built for public transport – unifying future-proof aggregated connectivity, secure virtualised application hosting, and robust built-in storage to satisfy even the most demanding requirements
Operators can choose from several models optimised to meet their business requirements, opting to install a single router per train or vehicle consist, or pairing two units together to provide data load balancing and redundancy.
Supercharged Aggregated Connectivity
Icomera’s X-Series routers house up to five 5G radio modems (supporting 3GPP Release 16) and 22 Nano SIMs, integrates Wi-Fi 6 technology, and feature 2 x 10 Gbps and 1 x 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports, delivering unparalleled data throughput and low latency for a range of transport applications.
Icomera’s onboard platform utilises its patented SureWAN™ technology, an industry-leading connectivity technology protocol for combining multiple networks (cellular, satellite, trackside) in parallel, providing the fastest, most reliable connection available for onboard systems, as well as high volumes of passengers who can connect directly to the routers’ inbuilt dual-band Wi-Fi access points.
Out-of-the-Box Virtualised Application Hosting
Operators can reduce the total number of onboard devices by running multiple, resource-intensive applications simultaneously from a single X-Series unit: Passenger Wi-Fi, Infotainment, Real-Time Digital Video Surveillance, AI-Enhanced Video Analytics, and more.
Icomera X-Series routers support fully scalable, secure virtualisation technologies, leveraging Kubernetes containerised workloads to deliver software-defined services, which are all monitored using Icomera’s state-of-the-art ICONIC network monioring & management tools.
Configurations with Intel® Xeon® processors (4-core 2.4/4.4 GHz or 8-core 2.6/4.2 GHz, both with Hyper-Threading) and 8 – 32GB RAM provide ample headroom for concurrent workloads, while over-the-air updates streamline lifecycle management.
Integrated Storage
Icomera’s X-Series routers’ built-in storage options support resource-intensive applications and media using a 256GB system drive, complemented by 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB SSDs. For video and bulk data, models can be configured with up to two externally-accessible SSDs, offering up to 16TB total capacity.
The substantial storage capacity of the X-Series platform supports month-scale video surveillance data retention, content caching, and efficient physical data transfer, eliminating the need for costly additional NAS storage devices.
