Mobility with Vehicle Gateways

witzerland is world-renowned for its precise, reliable, and sustainable public transportation network. From punctual trains cutting through the Alps to bus lines connecting every rural valley, Swiss mobility is a benchmark in efficiency. Behind this reliability lies not only world-class logistics but also advanced communication and data technology.

One of the newest innovations empowering smart, connected transport systems is the VG Vehicle Gateway series from InHand Networks, now proudly available through INOVIS Live Automation AG in Switzerland.

These industrial-grade gateways are built to meet the growing demand for intelligent, secure, and connected vehicles – whether in public transport, emergency fleets, logistics trucks, or autonomous systems. The VG710 and VG814 models are among the most advanced mobile IoT gateways on the market today, ensuring robust connectivity and reliable performance on every route.

Both models are designed for extreme environments. Whether operating on a cold mountain route in Davos or a busy tram network in Zürich, the VG series keeps data flowing – securely, seamlessly, and in real time.

Intelligent Design for Connected Mobility

The VG Vehicle Gateways from InHand Networks are not just routers – they are intelligent edge devices capable of collecting, processing, and transmitting data between vehicles, control centers, and cloud platforms.

Their built-in computing power allows local processing of GPS data, CAN bus signals, and vehicle diagnostics, reducing data latency and dependency on external servers. This makes them perfect for real-time fleet management, predictive maintenance, and passenger information systems.

Key technologies include:

  • Edge Computing Capabilities – Process data directly on the gateway to reduce network load.
  • Cloud Integration – Native support for InHand Device Manager, AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, and custom APIs.
  • Secure Networking – OpenVPN, IPSec, and firewall protection to meet enterprise-grade security standards.
  • Automatic Failover – Redundant communication paths via cellular, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet ensure constant connectivity.

This level of reliability is exactly what Swiss operators demand – no downtime, no missed connections.

🚆 Applications Across Switzerland

Switzerland’s transport system operates like a Swiss watch – every component matters. The VG710 and VG814 Gateways help keep that precision alive across multiple sectors:

🚋 Public Transport

Municipal bus and tram systems rely on continuous communication between vehicles, control centers, and ticketing servers. The VG series ensures real-time updates for schedules, passenger counts, and live position tracking.

  • Dynamic passenger information displays
  • Automatic vehicle location (AVL)
  • Ticketing and fare management systems
  • Real-time data transmission to central platforms

🚒 Emergency and Utility Fleets

Police, fire, ambulance, and power maintenance vehicles need mission-critical connectivity. The VG814’s 5G and Wi-Fi 6 capabilities guarantee ultra-low latency for emergency dispatch systems and camera streaming from the field.

  • Mobile command & control
  • Video surveillance over LTE/5G
  • GPS tracking and event logs
  • Secure encrypted communication

🚚 Logistics and Transport

In logistics, every second and every kilometer counts. The VG710 enables seamless fleet management, cargo temperature monitoring, and route optimization for trucks operating across Europe.

  • CAN bus data collection for vehicle diagnostics
  • Remote fleet management
  • Integration with ERP/dispatch systems
  • Driver behavior and fuel monitoring

🚆 Railway and Industrial Vehicles

Both models are certified with EN50155, making them ideal for trains, trams, or maintenance vehicles. The rugged design resists shock, vibration, and temperature extremes.

  • Condition monitoring
  • Train-to-ground communication
  • Predictive maintenance analytics

🅿️ Smart Parking and Infrastructure Vehicles

Cities like Zürich, Bern, and Basel are increasingly deploying smart parking and maintenance systems. The VG gateway provides data aggregation from sensors, cameras, and control units.
