Understanding Automotive on-board communications
The 21st century society is an interconnected community of peoples and “Things” (IoT) where the communication flows across them at incredible speed, faster and faster, and where it becomes harder to distinguish who controls who or what. Vehicles add their pace to this equation becoming, from one side, a tool that combines usefulness and fun, but from the other, loose control and danger both for passengers and pedestrians. The way to enhance the formers while mitigate the latter is the key to success to enjoy a peaceful and perfect journey.
That is why vehicles have been evolving for decades into an increasingly interconnected system of cooperative and connected device that provides comprehensive intelligent communications either between vehicles and vehicles (V2V), or between vehicles and offroad infrastructures along the road (V2X), or within the vehicle itself.
Connected systems on the road involves communications that are eventually based on cellular and cloud-based technologies. The challenge of reliable communications is therefore related to how good is the cellular coverage along the track as well as to the resilience of the receiver to recover from lack of signal when it may occur. 4G LTE has already brought the mobile connectivity to high standards of reliability with its wide deployment in the market and a technology that allows to achieve data throughput comparable to a cabled WAN.
However, 5G will be the real paradigm change factor that can shape the future of the automotive industry. With 5G, QoS provisioning will be brough to the next level through dedicated bearers within the network slicing architecture,
and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication) as well as edge compute technologies, will allow more and more sophisticated solutions enabling all those ADAS (Advanced Hazard Detection System) services that have very stringent requirements on latency, reliability, and system capacity.
Furthermore, to prevent service interruption that patchy networks may still have along the road, either being in high congested traffic or in rural areas, intelligent networking using link aggregation to combine multiple Mobile Network Operators channels improve the resilience and robustness of the entire communication system. As well, security onboard can be guaranteed via state-of-art SDWAN technology to enable point-to-point encrypted communication to prevent cyber attack to the network infrastructure, that could happen from WLAN interception, connection of non-authorized devices or equipment to the network, unwanted traffic propagation, or malware downloads. In addition, SDWAN allows an easy as well as comprehensive remote WAN management.
Overall, as the automotive industry is changing toward vehicle that are more and more interconnected. Efficient onboard communications can definitely increase the safety on the road, when considering V2X, but also can provide to passengers those comfort services that are very appreciated along long trips, such as being able to access to internet or stream video over WiFi6. As well operations and maintenance can also be improved gathering information from all interconnected edge-devices onboard and store data to the Big Data cloud system for post processing analytics.
Hardware Solution & Teldat Products
Automotive on-board communications
The background
The automotive industry is changing toward a model of interconnected systems that can provide higher level of security and comfort to passengers either travelling on a short urban bus route or on a longer journey for business or pleasure. Connectivity is essential and has become a requirement regardless of why and how you travel on the road, by private vehicle or public service.
Teldat’s solutions for automotive systems provide real time communication services to vehicles offering higher standards of security and reliability offering compelling benefits for the passengers and staff. Teldat’s routers enhance the communication system are designed to provide the state-of-art 4G, 5G and WiFi6 technologies and are prepared to endure the rigorous conditions that operating aboard a moving vehicle demands, as strong shocks, high vibrations, extreme temperatures, and humidity conditions.
In addition, the high level of flexibility of the routes enable to cover different needs and use case with just one platform that can be scaled to connect up to four different concurrent Mobile Network Operators in either active-active or in active-backup mode. And also, the GPS tracking services embedded in the router add those positioning information that, together with data gathered from the whole platform, can used in a post processing analytics system.
The Celer-Series platform
The Celer-Series is the ultimate communications platform for most on-board use cases. It provides 5G/4G bandwidth, Wi-Fi 6, safe connectivity with Teldat’s next generation firewall, artificial intelligence applications via Coral, and eSIM for remote SIM services. The Celer-Series has been designed to meet all the requirements and certificates of the on-board environment. Its ruggedized hardware design withstands high vibration levels, a wide range of temperatures (going from extremely hot to extremely cold), is dirt-resistant and has improved protection functionalities against power surges.
The Celer Max-5G platform
The Celer Max-5G platform benefits from the main advantages of the Celer-Series model and, in addition, has ITxPT-compliant hardware and software . ITxPT (Information Technology for Transport) is an open work framework that simplifies the integration of different transport technologies. In addition, the Celer Max-5G is the most robust device in Teldat’s portfolio (which makes it a key component in the most demanding scenarios).
H2-Automotive+ platform
H2-Automotive+ is Teldat’s multi-service telecommunications solution especially designed for vehicles with multi-WWAN requirements. H2-Automotive+ provides 4G/LTE/LTE-A bandwidth and a Wi-Fi access point, as well as client functionalities with aggregation and redundancy options, advanced network security mechanisms, or multi-SIM compatible with the simultaneous use of several mobile network operators.
Additionally, the router has a power-on delay feature that allows active connections to be maintained for a certain period of time when the vehicle’s engine is turned off. This translates into data savings without data loss.

The background
Teldat’s R&D&I team invests in software tools that supplement our on-board devices offered. The latest technologies, advanced cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and remote router fleet management are some of the software solutions offered by Teldat.
be.Safe Pro
be.Safe Pro represents the latest firewall solution developed by Teldat. Regardless of whether it is deployed in a bus fleet, emergency vehicles, commercial cars, data centers or the cloud, it protects operators from malware propagation.
This advanced cybersecurity shield offers total protection. It includes advanced IDS/IPS, SSL decryption, threat intelligence or Sandboxing, as well as application control, DoS prevention and an antivirus (among other cybersecurity characteristics).
Our cybersecurity solution offers an additional security layer for on-board communications, using the latest threat intelligence and firewall (NGFW).
On-board artificial intelligence
The last generation devices that are part of Teldat’s portfolio are capable of running artificial intelligence on the “edge”. This means they do not need to send data to a cloud datacenter. The device itself runs the artificial intelligence models via local processing.
This yields a great advantage in terms of operating efficiency. The client only receives the net data they are interested in reviewing. This translates into speedy processing and greater security levels (since data flows don’t need to be sent to a private or cloud server). However, to do so, the device reduces the number of bits sent to the server.
CNM and CNM Mobility
Cloud Net Manager (CNM) is a tool designed to globally manage Teldat devices from a central point. Combined with Teldat’s mobility license (CNM Mobility), it offers real-time information on the location of vehicles and the route each of them follows by monitoring parameters such as coverage, signal intensity, bandwidth or performance (among others).
The solution is offered in cloud mode (or can be virtualized and installed in the client’s facilities). It allows devices to be remotely managed according to a flexible range of licenses.
CNM and CNM Mobility are particularly interesting because they do not require the on-site presence of technical experts to install and manage devices. Network deployment is automatic.
