Mobile Broadband for High-Quality In-Vehicle Video Streaming
Using LTE and 5G wireless solutions to enable reliable, high-performance connectivity
Fleet vehicles have evolved into rolling digital workstations. Powerful onboard devices enable reliable video streaming and other critical applications for first responders, businesses, public transit, and school systems. However, the benefits of real-time video and data are only accessible through highly reliable in-vehicle connectivity that securely links footage to the cloud and data centers.
Networking challenges
Inconsistent connectivity
As fleet vehicles move through varied terrain, dense urban areas, or sprawling suburbs, network availability can be strong one minute and weak or lost the next — impacting connection reliability.
Insufficient capacity for high-definition video
Video files typically are quite large. In-vehicle video streaming places a heavy burden on networking equipment, often hindering stream quality and obstructing related applications.
Network management limitations
Within fleets, IT teams often don’t have the resources, personnel, or time to manage configuration changes, set one-off policies, and install security updates one vehicle at a time.
Benefits of LTE and 5G solutions for in-vehicle connectivity
Reliable network access from the road
Featuring support for multiple wireless carriers and interoperability with a wide array of external antennas, Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Service for Mobile and wireless routers with built-in LTE or 5G modems provide dependable in-vehicle network connectivity — and the option of introducing automatic cellular failover to a second network operator if the need arises.
Agility to accommodate future needs
Cradlepoint’s in-vehicle wireless solutions feature integrated Wi-Fi, ethernet and serial ports, and dual-modem capabilities — supporting the latest onboard video platforms and ensuring scalability.
Centralized management for remote troubleshooting
NetCloud Manager provides cloud-based centralized monitoring, configuration, data management, and troubleshooting for IT teams and network administrators — including robust dashboards replete with analytics and insights about connection links and security.

Case Study: Pike County & City of Troy Use LTE to Enable Quicker, More Reliable Communication During Emergencies
Alabama Agencies Deploy Cradlepoint Solutions to Improve Public Safety & Conserve Man-Hours
Customer Profile
Pike County has a population of nearly 35,000 people spread out over 672 square miles. Pike County emergency 911 dispatchers work with the police and fire departments in Troy, Alabama, to constantly improve public safety, as well as communication between the agencies. Troy, the county seat, has more than 19,000 residents and is located just south of Montgomery, the state’s capital.
Agency Needs
Significant upgrades in technology for Pike County and Troy police and fire called for similar progress in their ability to keep public safety vehicles connected 24/7. The MiFi devices they had been using for Internet connectivity didn’t interface with CAD technology and only stayed on for about four consecutive hours before needing to be charged — just half of a standard eight-hour patrol shift. Even then, the batteries were being strained beyond their limits. Every time a vehicle would lose its connection, the MiFi devices had to reboot. In the field, with emergencies and dangerous situations often unfolding at a moment’s notice, downtime is never acceptable.
Solution
After a full bid process and careful product testing, Pike County and the City of Troy chose Cradlepoint NetCloud Service for mobile, including cloud management, a multi-WAN mobile router with embedded LTE, 24x7 support, and a limited lifetime warranty, as the solution to their wide-ranging connectivity and security needs.
“The Cradlepoint routers provided the most cost-effective option among devices that met all of the departments’ needs,” said Troy Chief of Police Randall Barr. “Also, the man-hour savings that come from remote cloud management added a lot of value for us.”
