Unsere Gespräche auf der diesjährigen InnoTrans haben es erneut bestätigt: Die Zukunft von Netzwerkapplikationen liegt in der Container-Virtualisierung. Wir freuen uns deshalb, mit Unwired Edge Compute eine leichtgewichtige Container-Runtime für Fahrzeugrouter und -server anbieten zu können, die die Geräte für nahezu jede denkbare Anwendung öffnet. Einen spannenden Anwendungsfall der Container-Virtualisierung haben wir gemeinsam mit unserem Partner Kontron Transportation für die AKN Eisenbahn GmbH umgesetzt. Für ein stabiles Passagier-WLAN in 14 Alstom Lint54 Zügen musste, aufgrund bestehender Verträge, der „Hotspot as a Service“ der Deutschen Telekom genutzt werden. Normalerweise hätte die Integration dieser Applikation eine aufwendige Anpassung des Router-Betriebssystems erfordert – mit hohen initialen und laufenden Kosten. Durch Container-Virtualisierung konnten wir den Hotspot der Deutschen Telekom jedoch als Container bereitstellen und so ein einfaches Deployment und eine unkomplizierte Verwaltung des Services ermöglichen.

🔐 Unlock Robust Security: Multi-Layer Defense for Modern Threats 🕵️♂️ If you knew someone was likely to try breaking into a house, would you secure it with just one lock? In the digital realm, where threats loom at every corner, a single line of defense just doesn’t cut it. That’s where Unwired Edge Compute steps in, enabling a robust “Defense in Depth” strategy. Multi-Layered Defense: Not Just Safe, Safer! In critical environments where security is a priority, Unwired Edge Compute empowers users to implement a defense in depth strategy. This method doesn’t rely on a single security measure. Instead, it layers multiple security mechanisms to create a formidable barrier against threats, eliminating any single point of failure and ensuring comprehensive network protection. 1. Multiple Layers of Protection: Think of defense in depth like an onion. Just as layers protect the core of an onion, each security layer guards against potential threats, ensuring that breaching one layer will not compromise the entire system. This approach is essential for stopping attacks from outsiders and reducing weaknesses from within. 2. Flexible Network Design: With Unwired Edge Compute, you tailor your network’s architecture with security as a cornerstone. Dedicated routers handle networking tasks like Layer 2/3 operations and VPN configurations, while application hosts manage containerized workloads, ensuring isolated and secure application environments. 3. Seamless Integration: Unwired Edge Compute seamlessly integrates containerized applications within complex networking environments. Whether aiming to streamline network functions for cost savings or to enhance security, our platform adapts to meet your specific requirements, ensuring robust and flexible security measures. 4. Rapid Threat Detection and Response: By deploying security monitoring and threat detection closer to the data source, we ensure quicker responses to potential threats, minimizing vulnerability windows and enhancing risk mitigation. 5. Secure Application Management: Containerized applications benefit from enhanced isolation, ensuring that if one application is compromised, the breach does not affect others. This separation is key to maintaining a secure multi-application environment, especially in scenarios involving multiple tenants or constrained resources.

Real-Life Use Case: Enabling Automatic Passenger Counting with Edge Computing. Last week, we explored the key benefits of Edge Computing in the transportation sector. This week, we’re diving into a practical application of this technology: Automatic Passenger Counting (APC). No more dedicated APC hardware! Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) is becoming increasingly essential for optimizing routes, improving service quality, and most importantly, for accurate billing and revenue sharing. Traditionally, implementing APC systems has meant installing dedicated hardware, leading to higher costs and complexity due to additional servers, modems, and connectivity challenges. With Unwired Edge Compute, we offer a seamless and cost-effective solution by running APC software containerized on existing vehicle routers. This approach eliminates the need for dedicated hardware and leverages the powerful connectivity of the Unwired Edge Cloud. 1. Integration with Existing Infrastructure: Unwired Edge Compute allows the APC system from Interautomation Deutschland GmbH to run as virtualized software on existing vehicle routers. This reduces the need for additional onboard computers and utilizes routers already in place for various tasks. 2. Real-Time Data Processing: The APC system processes data from advanced sensors in real-time, providing highly accurate passenger counts with up to 99% accuracy. This data is crucial for making informed decisions on route adjustments and resource allocation. 3. Simplified Deployment: Containerized applications benefit from easy rollouts and simplified management. Deploying the APC application does not require modifications to the existing operating system, reducing installation errors and enhancing reliability. 4. Comprehensive Network Protection: Unwired Edge Compute supports a “defense in depth” strategy, layering multiple security mechanisms to protect against threats. This ensures comprehensive network protection and eliminates single points of failure. 5. Future-Proof Flexibility: Investing in APC with Unwired Edge Compute not only addresses current needs but also provides absolute flexibility for future applications. As an entry point into edge computing, it allows customers to seamlessly integrate additional functionalities as they evolve, ensuring a future-proof solution. Discover more about our Automatic Passenger Counting solution and how it can transform your operations: https://lnkd.in/dNrSkHfQ Stay Tuned Next week, we’ll dive deeper into the security provided by containerized applications, highlighting how this approach ensures robust protection for your network. #EdgeComputing #PublicTransportInnovation #SmartTransport

Exploring the Key Benefits of Edge Computing in Transportation Last week, we introduced the concept of Containerized Edge Computing and how it can open up your vehicle network devices for multiple applications seamlessly. This week, we continue our journey into the world of Edge Computing, focusing on the “why” behind this technology and its transformative benefits for transportation operators. Edge Computing is not just a buzzword; it’s a powerful tool that can significantly enhance the efficiency, security, and flexibility of transportation networks. Let’s explore the main benefits of Edge Computing and why it’s crucial for operators to embrace this technology: Key Advantages of Edge Computing: Cost Efficiency: By merging the capabilities of routers and application hosts into a single device, Edge Computing reduces hardware costs and maintenance efforts. Container virtualization allows multiple applications to run on a single device, maximizing your investment. Increased Flexibility: Edge Computing allows for the deployment of diverse applications directly on network devices through container virtualization. This flexibility ensures that transport systems can quickly adapt to new requirements and integrate additional functionalities without extensive reconfiguration. Improved Security: Implementing Edge Computing enables a layered security strategy, minimizing risks and ensuring comprehensive protection. With reduced data exposure and system resilience against cyber threats is greatly enhanced. Simplified Infrastructure: Integrated devices reduce the complexity of wiring and installation. This leads to cleaner, more efficient setups and minimizes the risk of installation errors. Container virtualization makes application deployment and management straightforward without extensive hardware customization. Resource Optimization: Leverage the unused capacity of routers by deploying containerized applications. This approach enhances the utility and efficiency of your network infrastructure, allowing for localized data processing, reduced latency, and improved real-time decision-making. In the coming weeks, we will dive deeper into each of these benefits, illustrating how container virtualization with Unwired Edge Compute can transform your operations.
