SD-WAN for rail and bus: centrally controlled, vendor-agnostic.

REST APIs for configuration and inventory, OpenMetrics for telemetry, webhooks for events. That covers integration with standard ITSM, monitoring, and BI tools without specialized connectors. You can build your own automations the same way — ticketing systems, asset management, or reporting workflows. Unwired Edge Cloud is designed as a data source for your existing IT ecosystem, not as an isolated console.

Metrics on modems, uplinks, sessions, devices, and containers are delivered in OpenMetrics format and available in real time and historically. The data integrates into existing monitoring and BI tools like Grafana. Historical data enables service-level reports and proactive maintenance instead of just reactive problem-solving. Observability covers cellular signal quality per modem, uplink availability, bonding performance, session establishment, and configuration drift. Learn more about our observability solution.

Yes — this is the default operating mode. Unwired Edge Cloud enforces network segmentation in software: VLANs separate traffic types, while firewalls and routing policies govern access rights. Passenger Wi-Fi and operational systems run on the same device but in separate security domains. Updates to the segmentation logic are distributed centrally; no local intervention is needed because the central configuration is the single source of truth.

Zero-touch provisioning means: after the physical install, the device handles the rest. Bootstrap, authentication against Unwired Edge Cloud, configuration pull, application deployment, and registration with device management all happen with no manual step. The only prerequisite is uplink availability at the site — everything else is handled by the platform. Inconsistencies from manual initial setup disappear, and staffing requirements at the depot drop accordingly.

Supported uplinks include 4G/LTE and 5G across multiple mobile carriers in parallel, satellite, and fixed-line connections such as DSL, cable, and fiber. Multiple uplinks can run simultaneously per router and be aggregated through WAN bonding. The SD-WAN platform actively monitors modems, detects deadlocks that other router operating systems often miss, and resets stuck sessions via AT command or controlled modem reset.

WAN bonding is the technique that aggregates bandwidth from multiple uplinks into a single logical connection. SD-WAN is the broader discipline: it centrally controls which uplinks a vehicle router uses, which traffic types get which bandwidth, how configurations are rolled out, and how the network is segmented against operational data. WAN bonding runs as one capability within SD-WAN. Details on our WAN bonding offering are available on our WAN bonding page.

SD-WAN (Software-Defined WAN) separates the network’s control plane from the data plane. You define routing rules, uplink priorities, and security policies centrally, and Unwired Edge Cloud translates that into concrete configuration on every vehicle router. For transit operators, that means: multiple cellular carriers, Starlink, and fixed-line connections in parallel per vehicle, configuration changes rolled out fleet-wide, and passenger Wi-Fi safely separated from operational applications. Instead of configuring each router individually, you work at the fleet level.
