Good news! Unwired Edge Cloud OS now supports the Lanner R6S Rail computer (SKU B/C). With this development we are integrating a Lanner device into Unwired Edge Cloud for the first time — and offering far more than mere compatibility.
Getting the Most Out of the R6S:
Hardware upgraded by software: With Unwired Edge Cloud OS you get the full potential of the powerful Lanner R6S. A simple installation routine puts the comprehensive network management functions of Unwired Edge Cloud to work immediately, and zero-touch configuration slots your device into your network in moments.
The Features You Can Expect
CloudLink: Maximum Connectivity
In cooperation with Bondix Intelligence we offer state-of-the-art packet-based WAN bonding as a service. By merging several network connections seamlessly, CloudLink reaches speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s and keeps data flowing without interruption. This connectivity gain is crucial, particularly in scenarios where a stable, fast connection is paramount. Placement in Tier 1 data centers keeps it secure, and setting up bonding in our user-friendly interface takes only seconds.
Onboard Wi-Fi Portal: Always Available Thanks to Local Installation on the Vehicle Router
Picture a scenario where passengers can reach important content such as passenger information and entertainment seamlessly, even with no active internet connection. Our onboard Wi-Fi portal, deployed directly on the vehicle router, makes that a reality. With this feature, vehicles become self-contained information and entertainment hubs that improve the overall passenger experience. Content such as passenger information is synchronized differentially to every vehicle in the fleet through Unwired Edge Cloud — efficiently and with minimal data use.
Edge Computing: Support for Real-Time Applications
Turn your vehicle into a mobile data center. Containerized applications process data right at the source, which makes real-time analytics possible. Docker/OCI container support opens up the option of installing applications such as the automatic passenger counting from our partner Interautomation directly on your vehicle router. That cuts the need for specialized hardware in your vehicles and opens up new efficiency gains at the same time.
The Perfect Match: Lanner R6S and Unwired Edge Cloud
With its Intel Core™ i7-7600U CPU, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and 2.5-inch removable drive bay, the Lanner R6S is ideally suited to demanding edge computing work. Its 10 PoE-capable LAN ports not only simplify device connections, they also cut cable clutter and streamline the vehicle build. The R6S SKU B/C also meets the power supply tolerances required by the standard, so it stays flexible and compatible across a wide range of deployment scenarios.
