AirCast is the cutting-edge router designed for connecting fleets of vehicles such as buses, trams, trucks, emergency and public safety vehicles, etc., thanks to its full cellular 5G capabilities, dual-band WiFi 6 (2.4/5GHz) and GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou) interfaces, as well as its 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Mobility :
AirCast is equipped with high-speed wireless technologies for transmitting data to and from vehicles. For public transport applications (bus and trams), AirCast makes it possible to pool all data streams (SAE, ticketing, PIS, CCTV…) on a single router. Its WiFi fast roaming capabilities ensure continuous data transmission when buses arrive at the depot. Its automatic switching capabilities between WiFi and 5G ensure service continuity when they go into operation.
Smart policy routing (5G / WiFi), along with segmentation and prioritization capabilities, allow seamless transmission of onboard applications (ticketing, AVLM/ACS…) including high-demanding real time applications such as CCTV and VoIP with no failure.

Remote administration and monitoring of the routers’ fleet is performed with cloud or ‘on-premise’ ACKSYS WaveManager. The AirCast MQTT broker and bridge facilitate data transmission, system maintenance and monitoring of all onboard equipment.

Cybersecurity :
The onboard network being an extension of the operator IT network, it is now mandatory to secure the vehicle network according to NIS 2 regulations. ACKSYS AirCast integrates the latest cyber-security standard EN18031, including secure boot, robust encryption and authentication, along with network isolation firewall to safeguard critical communications.
