The Moovbox M220 from the award-winning Moovbox M Series Mobile Broadband Gateway range is a multi-radio, ruggedised in-vehicle communications device that delivers Ethernet, Wi-Fi and GPS over a range of carrier-class backhaul networks.
Whether for Internet services on passenger transport or secure VPN connectivity for public safety vehicles, the Moovbox M220 works wherever there is mobile data coverage and supports 2G, 3G and 4G cellular wide area networks (WANs) including HSPA, EV-DO, and WiMAX. The backhaul-agnostic Moovbox M220 supports two embedded modems in PCI express mini card form factor. These modems operate in tandem providing concurrent backhaul connections that can be configured for failover between different carriers, for independent connections dedicated to Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces respectively, or in a load balancing configuration. Both Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces can be configured as Backhaul offering support for many 3rd party CPEs. The Moovbox modular WAN approach provides an in-field upgrade path to future WAN technologies without the need to change the Moovbox hardware.
The Moovbox M220 gateway features a commercial grade 802.11b/g Wi-Fi access point supporting multiple SSIDs, captive portal, RADIUS AAA and traffic prioritization making it suitable for delivering Internet access to passengers as well as secure access for transport staff. A dual switched/routed 10/100 Ethernet interface provides connectivity for peripheral equipment such as IP-CCTV, digital video recorders (DVR), ticketing, voice announcement and black-box systems.
In situations where static IP addresses from mobile carriers are unavailable, the Moovbox supports secure VPN tunneling to provide inbound access to the device in the field, and control of equipment downstream on the Ethernet interfaces. Drawing power from a vehicle’s electrical system, the bulkhead- mounting Moovbox features industrial-grade external connectors for an in-cabin Wi-Fi antenna and dash, window or roof mounting cellular & GPS antennas.
Multiple Moovbox M220s can be remotely monitored and configured with the optional MoovManage web-based management system which also provides Wi-Fi user authentication, and bandwidth statistics reporting. The optional MoovManage Track service leverages the built-in GPS receiver to provide remote device location, vehicle schedule adherence monitoring and cellular network quality analysis. The optional MoovManage Ads service delivers targeted advertising for passenger transport applications.
