Cellular for Location-Based Applications in Vehicles

Using enterprise-grade routers for vehicles — especially dual-modem routers supporting multi-carrier failover and GNSS — ensures consistent 5G and LTE connectivity to maintain the accuracy of location-based data for fleets, even in unavoidable dead zones such as tunnels. NetCloud’s “dead reckoning” feature can calculate the route of a vehicle during a dead period by utilizing the previously determined position, speed, and direction traveling until cellular connectivity and/or the GNSS signal is restored. 

Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager enables businesses and agencies to monitor 5G and LTE connectivity and data security for an entire vehicle fleet through helpful dashboards, and to adjust configurations on any wireless cellular router in the field with the ease of point-and-click functionality. IT teams can centrally monitor and manage instead of taking vehicles off the road. 

Cradlepoint solutions with optional zero trust security technologies safeguard sensitive vehicle data by securing connected devices and eliminating default access, giving users and devices access only to the resources they need to do their jobs. These solutions — managed through NetCloud — include secure access to the internet and private and SaaS applications to protect against malicious actors, zero-day attacks, and lateral movement during breaches.
