High-bandwidth cellular for video in vehicles

Challenge

Many companies and agencies use on-board video cameras to deter improper activity, provide evidence in legal and insurance matters, and hold staff and citizens accountable. Some organizations also need it for real-time remote visibility during critical incidents. The effectiveness of live video streaming during emergencies relies on constant network availability and sufficient bandwidth with very little latency — all of which can be challenging in vehicles.

Solution

Use a comprehensive Ericsson solution — including high- performance 5G Ericsson Cradlepoint vehicle routers, preferably with two modems connecting two carriers — to securely connect on-board video cameras. The data can be streamed from the vehicle in real time or stored on the vehicle and offloaded via Wi-Fi at headquarters.

Key factors when choosing a 5G/LTE solution for video streaming from vehicles

High bandwidth, low latency, and multi-carrier failover

Video streaming requires robust bandwidth and low latency. 5G dual-modem routers with SD-WAN features — including intelligent bonding — enable fleet managers and IT teams to balance loads between multiple carriers for optimized performance and tap into extra bandwidth. Automatic failover can flow between carriers or between cellular and satellite.

Monitor and manage connections from anywhere

Easily take the wheel of network management with Ericsson NetCloud Manager. Monitor connections and signal strength, track vehicle locations, adjust configurations, and troubleshoot issues for any vehicle, from anywhere. Ample dashboards packed with in-depth analytics and insights keep you in the driver’s seat, wherever the road may lead.

Protect sensitive data with scalable zero trust security

Replace difficult-to-manage VPNs with zero trust networks. Protect sensitive data with an invitation-only system that gives users and devices access only to the resources they need to do their jobs. Ericsson Cradlepoint routers support zero trust security and hybrid mesh firewall, which secures Internet use while continuously monitoring traffic for any signs of malicious activity.
