Intro

Unwired Edge WiFi provides stable, fast, and feature-rich public WiFi, designed for seamless integration into various vehicle and stationary environments with rapid deployment. It enables network-side configuration without user interaction, is hardware-agnostic in terms of routers and access points, and offers a comprehensive captive portal that also functions offline. The system supports real-time passenger information, onboard entertainment, and robust bandwidth management, ensuring reliable and legally compliant internet access for passengers. With cloud-based management, it scales flexibly from small, embedded installations in vehicles to complex setups on high-speed trains.
