Airspan has adapted their seasoned and mature technology to fit applications requiring vehicle connectivity within their network. A customized CPE was created which harnesses the best of existing units in order to offer a ruggedized, Wi-Fi enabled, vehicle mounted CPE. This unique unit, called MRT (mobile radio transmitter), allows for real-time information exchange, surveillance and vehicle tracking.

The vehicle mounted CPE communicates with stationary base stations deployed in areas such as bus depots, police lots or along roads and highways, and in the case of emergency situations, the unit can transmit to a nomadic base station.

The MRT is a ruggedized hybrid device integrating WiMAX CPE and Wi-Fi AP functionalities in a single package allowing WiMAX connectivity while simultaneously creating a Wi-Fi hot spot enabling passengers or vertical market employees to access Wi-Fi Internet or network connectivity from a variety of devices. The unit is ideal for nomadic and vehicular operation. When mounted in a vehicle, the unit can either be powered directly from the vehicle or from an outside source.

The MRT is ideal for any market needing communication to and from vehicles. These include, Oil and Gas, Public Safety, Transportation, Surveillance, etc. By opening up new service opportunities and by creating the environment for vehicular broadband services everywhere, Airspan is enabling entities worldwide to change their business models, increasing efficiency and cost effectiveness.
