Modern transit runs on reliable connectivity
Connected technologies are reshaping the public transit experience.
Agencies and passengers depend on GPS, on-board payment systems, and safety monitoring to deliver efficient, secure
and cost-effective service. All of this requires reliable connectivity. Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions LTE
and 5G networking solutions for mass transit are built for mobility. From fleet operations to passenger experiences,
we deliver the always-on connectivity that keeps public transit rolling.
Unreliable connectivity
Unreliable connectivity disrupts ticketing systems, passenger
Wi-Fi, and real-time fleet visibility. When even one vehicle loses connection, it can affect scheduling, fare
collection, and customer communication across the network, creating delays and reduced rider trust.
Operational inefficiency
Operational inefficiency costs agencies time and money when
vehicles must be pulled from service to troubleshoot network issues. Without centralized management and visibility,
IT teams spend hours diagnosing problems in person instead of optimizing fleet performance remotely.
Ericsson combines enterprise-grade LTE/5G connectivity, edge-to-cloud security, and centralized fleet management to
help transit agencies overcome these challenges and deliver the future of mobility.
Connectivity that supports operations, riders, and safety
Continuous operations
Maintain secure, reliable connectivity across fleets and fixed stations.
Enhanced passenger experience
Fast, reliable Wi-Fi, mobile ticketing, arrival updates, and schedule updates keep riders connected and satisfied.
Stronger safety outcomes
Support public and employee safety with connected systems and nonstop visibility.
Digital transformation of mass transit
Ericsson enables public transit agencies to embrace digital
transformation with wireless WAN and 5G solutions that enhance operations, improve safety, and elevate the
passenger experience. Here’s how transit organizations benefit.
Fleet management simplified
Access real-time AVL, GPS, and vehicle diagnostics to improve scheduling,
reduce downtime, and keep fleets on time.
Next-gen passenger services
Deliver reliable Wi-Fi, mobile ticketing, and digital signage that create
seamless experiences and new revenue opportunities.
Data protection
Safeguard passenger payment data, ticketing records, and
operational systems with end-to-end encryption and enterprise-grade controls that keep sensitive
information secure across every route and station.
Security at the edge
Protect every bus, rail car, and trackside device with
resilient edge security that maintains safe, uninterrupted connectivity — even in the most remote or
high-traffic environments.
Centralized control
Use NetCloud Manager to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot connectivity
issues remotely from a single, cloud-based platform.
Seattle transit agency keeps fleets connected with LTE
King County Metro, serving more than 2.25 million people across the Seattle region, needed a scalable solution
to keep over 1,700 buses connected. By deploying Ericsson cellular routers with centralized cloud management, the
agency eliminated dropped connections, gained real-time AVL and GPS data, and simplified network management for
its lean IT team.
“I can schedule updates to push out across the fleet simultaneously at 3 a.m. — without requiring our team to
visit any of the buses.” — Russ Mattichak, Network Engineer, King County Metro
