Connectivity for train and bus manufacturers: tender-ready, built to last.

Delivery includes the technical documentation that tenders and acceptance processes typically require: MTBF figures for the devices, specification sheets, QA test reports, and a technical implementation plan for your project. Your project teams pass these documents straight into bidding and acceptance processes instead of compiling them from multiple sources. Technical pre-sales consulting also supports the system design, so your proposal meets the requirements specification. Scope details per project are agreed with our team.

Yes. The platform securely separates operational IoB applications such as telemetry or passenger counting from comfort services like passenger Wi-Fi, using VLANs and software-defined networking on the same physical network. You don’t need to install two separate networks, which saves cabling, devices, and space in the vehicle and simplifies the design. The separation is configured centrally and identical across every vehicle in a series, which also makes operator acceptance easier.

Without visibility into a device in the field, a fault report often means removing, shipping, and replacing hardware — even when it’s working fine. Unwired Edge Cloud observability delivers telemetry, metrics, and logs from every device, in real time and historically. Your service team identifies remotely whether a fault lies in hardware, configuration, or an application, and fixes software and configuration issues via OTA update, without the vehicle going to the workshop. Unnecessary returns, replacement devices, and on-site visits disappear, and the RMA rate over the warranty period drops.

Configurations are stored centrally in the platform as pre-configured profiles per vehicle type. In production, the device is simply installed and cabled; as soon as it comes online, it picks up its configuration automatically via Zero Touch Configuration. Manual per-vehicle setup is gone, and so is the technician visit for network commissioning. You verify the first vehicles of a series through self-service QA and the platform’s observability, then the rollout runs in series. Network equipment keeps pace with production and doesn’t put delivery dates at risk.

In public transport tenders, network requirements are often rigidly specified, from mandated interfaces to standards such as EN 50155. If the network software is tied to a single device vendor, the choice of suitable hardware narrows sharply and bids can become impossible. The Unwired Edge Cloud is vendor-agnostic: Unwired Edge Cloud OS runs on devices from multiple vendors, including Netmodule/Belden, Teltonika, and Televic. For each tender, you choose the devices that best fit the spec and your costing — and device management stays the same across all projects.

The vehicle router runs applications as OCI containers, isolated from the host system and orchestrated centrally from the cloud. For more demanding virtualization, the Unwired Edge Cloud also supports Kubernetes containers. A growing partner ecosystem provides automatic passenger counting and passenger information systems, and your customers’ own applications can be packaged too. For you as a manufacturer, that means fewer dedicated computers in the vehicle: functions that used to need their own hardware run as software on existing devices, and new functions can be added later without modifying the vehicle.

Yes. The platform covers the typical connectivity use cases in rail vehicles and buses: passenger Wi-Fi with a captive portal, reliable vehicle-to-ground communication via WAN bonding, and applications such as passenger counting or passenger information running as containers. Hardware is chosen per vehicle type and tender; the platform, device management, and rollout process stay identical. Manufacturers that equip both trains and buses work with one unified system across all product lines.

The Unwired Edge Cloud is built for self-service operation. After handover, the operator manages portals, network configurations, and updates independently: they maintain the captive portal in their own branding through a graphical CMS, push updates OTA across the fleet, and track the health of devices, uplinks, and applications through observability. You hand over a system the operator can run without specialist knowledge — and stay clear of recurring operational tasks. When needed, Unwired support assists the operator directly.

Unwired Edge Cloud OS provides software and security updates for over ten years — well beyond typical warranty and maintenance periods. The software is continuously adapted to new security standards, including the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847). When a device reaches end-of-life, you replace it with a compatible alternative from any vendor — no platform switch, no configuration rebuild. For you as a manufacturer, that means the network equipment in your vehicles stays current, secure, and maintainable throughout its service life.
