“Sierra Wireless is the market leader in volume shipments of
cellular gateways and routers, with a large installed base of
high-speed mobile gateways for first responders in the North
American market,” said Sam Lucero, Senior Principal Analyst for IoT
at IHS Markit. “Platforms like the
MG90, with its focus on multi-network switching capability, are
addressing a key customer need for robust, highly-available
connectivity technology options.*”
Today’s mobile workforce needs to connect more technology in and
around their vehicles than ever before, and these devices need to
remain securely connected at all times, even as the vehicle moves
from one coverage area to another. The MG90 provides:
- The world’s fastest vehicle area
network to support multiple high-bandwidth applications working
simultaneously
- Guaranteed, “always-on” connectivity
with sub-second switching of multiple simultaneous integrated WAN
links, including:
- Dual-LTE-Advanced
- FirstNet Band 14 option
- Gigabit Wi-Fi WAN
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Extensions to satellite and Land Mobile
Radio (LMR)
- Connected vehicle awareness with
built-in vehicle-ready I/O, Bluetooth and Vehicle Telemetry
interface for in-depth visibility of engine health and remote
monitoring of axillary devices, such as light bars, sirens and gun
racks
- Mobile multi-network security using the
AirLink Connection Manager (ACM) to retain static IP addresses
across all wide area networks without interruption, consolidating
the security for all technologies connected to the vehicle area
network
- Advanced network management software
using the AirLink Mobility Manager (AMM) for instant network
insight and control, enabling centralized and remote management,
monitoring and configuration, available as a hosted service or in
the enterprise
“First responder, transit, and field service fleets increasingly
require multiple wireless networks to ensure always-on, secure
communications in the field,” said Jason Krause, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Enterprise Solutions for Sierra
Wireless. “The AirLink MG90 platform is designed to meet the
demands of fleets today and in the future, enabling more informed
and better equipped mobile workforces, by providing guaranteed
connectivity for mission critical applications.”
The MG90’s multi-networking capability is optimized for the
world’s most demanding wireless applications, such as in law
enforcement vehicles, which host multiple systems (body worn
cameras, laptops, electronic citation systems, live digital video
surveillance and automated license plate recognition systems) that
all need to remain securely connected as the vehicle travels.
Josh Hearen, Deputy Sheriff, Brazos County Sheriff's Office,
said: “Since we deployed the new AirLink MG90 in our test vehicle,
we’ve been particularly impressed with its ability to connect to
our two core networks—Verizon and FirstNet Band 14—at any one time.
Because it switches between both networks so quickly, the
transition is invisible, resulting in almost no network downtime.
When connected to the MG90, our officers are able to complete all
of their research, paperwork and reporting remotely from the
vehicle via their laptops, increasing productivity and saving the
department, and taxpayers, money and superfluous man hours.”
Felix Arenas, IT Analyst, Town of Paradise Valley, said: “For
us, the biggest benefit of the AirLink MG90 is reliability—it just
works. It provides a constant and secure connection wherever it’s
located. The MG90 has allowed us to connect more in-vehicle
applications than ever before. All the data is secure, so our
officers are able to transmit sensitive information from their
vehicles.”
George Barlow Brown, Communications & IT Chief, New Orleans
Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said: “One
of the main reasons we chose the AirLink MG90 is because it’s
FirstNet, Band 14 deployable. When the network is turned on, we
won’t need to purchase new technology, saving considerable costs
and time. We’ve also been very impressed by the MG90’s performance
on our current Verizon network. It’s enabled us to be more
informed, respond faster and be better equipped to manage an
emergency.”
