Icomera Unveils X7 Mobile Connectivity & Applications Router

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- Icomera, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equans and the provider of integrated connectivity solutions for public transport, has launched its new X7 router.

The new router is a gateway to a powerful centralised connectivity platform, supporting multiple, resource-intensive applications including Passenger Wi-Fi, Onboard Infotainment, and Digital Video Surveillance & Analytics.

Icomera Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder, Mats Karlsson said one or multiple X7 units can be installed on a single vehicle or train consist.

“By distributing network traffic between two routers, load balancing helps ensure optimised performance, while redundancy adds further resiliency to an onboard connectivity solution,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, its Chief Commercial Officer, Roger Matthews said: “The X7 delivers exceptional speed, storage and performance for both operational and passenger-focused services, ushering in a new era of cutting-edge connected applications.”

The X7 utilises SureWAN, Icomera’s industry-leading connectivity technology protocol for intelligently aggregating multiple communication technologies include 5G, 4G, satellite and trackside networks, in parallel, to ensure the fastest, most reliable connection available to a moving vehicle.

The router will be available in various models at launch, each optimised to meet specific business requirements for digital video surveillance deployments; operating as an access point to provide high-quality passenger Wi-Fi; and contains up to five 5G modems for industry-leading connectivity.

By leveraging the increased throughput and reduced latency that Wi-Fi 7 offers, the new access point will facilitate faster and more reliable web browsing, streaming, downloads, and video conferencing for passengers, allowing them to stay connected more effortlessly while travelling.
