Queclink Wireless Solutions, a global provider of IoT devices and solutions, has launched a 5G router for the bus and coach marketplace that helps deliver a more connected, efficient and accessible travel experience. Boasting high-speed data transfer, unique connectivity and accurate tracking, it supports internet access, onboard entertainment and mobile payment processing, while underpinning advanced telematics, driver dispatch and passenger information systems.
“Modern passenger transport operators increasingly need real-time fleet data processing and communication capabilities to enhance the customer experience, achieve operational efficiency and gain competitive advantage,” explains Vernon Bonser, UK Sales Director of Queclink Wireless Solutions. “We have developed a 5G router solution that offers premium quality and unique features at an affordable price to cope with the complex connectivity and communication needs of a wide range of passenger, driver and business applications.”
Benefitting from 5G’s low latency and enhanced bandwidth, the router can transmit data simultaneously from multiple systems, sensors and devices, so bus and coach fleets can understand driver and vehicle performance with far greater insight, accuracy and immediacy. In addition, it uses the highest specification Qualcomm CPU chip – previously only available in premium router solutions elsewhere in the marketplace – for advanced processing performance and stability.
The 5G solution also possesses the most comprehensive range of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6 – where most devices currently only offer Wi-Fi 5 – as well as industry-first Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and RS232/RS485 serial ports. This enables the integration of sophisticated features, functionalities, and ancillary equipment such as IoT sensors, monitors and cameras.
“The secret to our success has always been to offer unique features over and above what is available from competitors, which is making us partner of choice within the bus and coach marketplace. This has already been demonstrated with the launch of our all-in-one smart dashcam, which has become one of the most popular video telematics devices over the past 18 months,” adds Vernon Bonser.
