US : Top Global introduced the world’s first 3G MobileBridge communications gateway for mobile intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

The MobileBridge™ is a patented, mobile/portable wireless system. It is the world’s first and the most integrated 3G mobile IP communications gateway. The MobileBridge™ currently supports all 3G standards including EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, CDMA 1x, EVDO, and EVDO Rev. A, it will also support mobile WiMax and HSUPA. With EVDO Rev.A, the MobileBridge™ delivers up to 3.1Mbps download and 1.8Mbps peak upload speed thus many innovative mobile and wireless killer applications can now be delivered.

The MobileBridge™ ITS supports the following features and applications:
1. GPS Tracking
2. Dynamic content filtering
3. Mobile Hot Spot with integrated Radius AAA (Airpath certified)
4. Supports walled garden, local & remote web portal.
5. Mobile wireless surveillance in motion
6. VPN and SSL for enhanced security
7. Remote Central Management, Real-time data traffic/bandwidth monitoring and management using SNMP protocol
8. Credit card, Smart card, RFID processing for payment and asset tracking in vehicle
9. Support VoIP over 3G Cellular for voice communication
10. Supports other M2M communication with sensors and controls

By connecting a GPS Mouse to the serial port of the MobileBridge™, real-time GPS location information can be send from the Vehicle to a central Geographic Information System (GIS) server. The GPS Mouse can get position information from satellites and the MobileBridge™ can transmit that info to GIS server via cellular network. The MobileBridge™ can now offer both GPS tracking feature as well as Internet access at the same time.

Top Global’s MobileBridge™ communications gateway can be used by public transportation company to offer “Mobile Hot Spot” service to passengers with new revenue income. With embedded RADIUS module, the MobileBridge™ offers several AAA possibilities for the services including usage/traffic (Mbits), monthly fee, daily, hourly, with credit card payment options. The MobileBridge™ is fully certified by Airpath which provides the backend OSS for many commercial hot spot operators. If the transit authorities prefer to offer internet access for free, the dynamic content filtering capabilities reduces their liability for access to unwanted contents. Local and remote portal can offer users information about the services, sign up accounts or fill out a survey.

When it is installed in a police vehicle, fire truck, or ambulance, the MobileBridge™ offer an standards based Mobile IP communications network which supports roaming as well as a common platform for highly secure VPN/SSL encrypt information sharing amount authorize government agencies in an event of disaster or emergency. The local WiFi hot spot can provide internet connectivity for handheld devices as well as laptop and smart card readers to verify identity and access information from central data base. The MobileBridge™ also enables mobile wireless telemedicine in real-time which saves precious time and improves hospital/doctor efficiency in saving people’s lives.

The MobileBridge™ can be installed on school buses, public transits, and trains to improve safety and efficiency. The GPS tracking capability can identify the location of the vehicle in real time. When installed with Smart card or RFID readers, this keeps track of the exact time the passengers get on and off the vehicle at the exact locations. The wireless surveillance camera on the vehicle keeps monitoring what is happening in-side the vehicle and/or its surroundings while the vehicle is in motion.

Logistic companies can manage their trucks and assets better using this solution. The administrators of transportation operators and logistic companies can monitor poison and speed info of all their vehicles in the field, also can keep easy communication with drivers using VoIP at no additional cost. Video surveillance capability opens a new whelm of opportunities and applications. When combined with RFID, all asset and packages with RFID tag can be tracked in real-time to reduce lost and avoid any mishandling of packages.

Historically, each of the above features requires one separate systems and devices. For the first time, the MobileBridge™ ITS communications gateway unifies all these features in one highly integrated solution. It reduces the complexity and cost to install multiple systems and devices. Additionally, it cuts on-going maintenance and operational cost of multiple communications devices. The ability to seamlessly migrate to next generation technologies protects customer’s Return on Investment.
