Access Wireless Data Solutions (AWDS) has established itself as an authority on Peplink connectivity solutions in the Public Transportation vertical. They worked alongside FrontierUS to give expert consultative support to a client that provided more than 120 Help Points® to New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). These Help Points provide passengers, including passengers with disabilities, with 24/7 access to emergency services around station platforms and public areas.
AWDS Senior Advisor Len Luttinger says these solutions are “changing the game of leading-edge remote communication solutions.” Their client was equally enthusiastic, saying Peplink “met our needs at the right price point. Peplink lets us deploy Help Points anywhere in the world. We can do video, audio, and diagnostics and testing on these Help Points. We can deliver diagnostics back to the customers or to ourselves at Amazon Web Services. Plus, Peplink’s cloud-based device management platform InControl 2 allows us to visualize the whole network from a single location.”
Peplink makes it possible for passengers to access real-time information about a bus or train’s location, estimated arrival times at stations, delays, and other relevant updates. Wi-Fi hotspots onboard, powered by cellular connectivity, to enhance the passenger experience. Those same cellular networks can be used to deliver on-demand entertainment content to in-seat screens throughout the passengers’ journey.
Managing It All With Peplink InControl 2
For AWDS clients, one of the biggest benefits of choosing Peplink for Public Transportation solutions is the remote network management platform, InControl 2 (IC2). With IC2, all Peplink devices on the network can be managed remotely, regardless of how they are being used and where they are located. Configurations and firmware updates can be pushed to hundreds of devices with a single click. Interactive maps can be used to track the location of trains and vehicles in real time. Graphical reports are available to monitor network quality, and the Remote Web Admin feature makes it possible to direction access the WebUI of any device, regardless of location.
FrontierUS Channel Development Manager Jon Grote, who consulted on the project, says seeing their “belief in Peplink devices, and their decision to use them exclusively for their lifesaving emergency kiosks, is very gratifying.”
Connectivity on the Go
That deployment leverages Peplink’s unique capabilities to ensure safety and security on the platforms. However, passengers are more likely to notice the power of Peplink once their train or bus has left the station.
