Onboard Communication Systems

Staying remotely connected to a network within critical infrastructure is essential for ensuring continuous monitoring, rapid response, and effective management of vital systems. Remote cellular connectivity enables real-time data access, proactive threat detection, and immediate troubleshooting, which are crucial for maintaining operational stability and preventing disruptions.

Cellular connectivity can be unreliable or unavailable in rural areas, so Cherry & White have developed a best in class onboard communication system that ensures continuous 4G, 5G, GPS, and Wi-Fi connectivity, even in cellular dead zones.

Perfect for critical infrastructure, utilities, emergency services, transport & logistics, or anyone that relies on network connectivity to get the job done.

 

Multi-Band Antenna

The multi-band antenna is a rugged, low-profile multi-band antenna designed for high-performance 4×4 4G/5G MiMo connectivity across 617-960MHz / 1710-6000MHz.

  • 4×4 MiMo 4G/5G: Full support for the latest 5G bands (617-960MHz / 1710-6000MHz)
  • Wi-Fi 6/6E + GPS/GNSS: Everything you need for complete coverage
  • Hard as Nails: IP69K-rated, flame-retardant, vandal-proof
  • Flexible Fit: Works on conductive and non-conductive vehicle panels
  • Navigation-Ready: Integrated GPS with advanced interference filtering

5G Router

An industrial-grade, high-speed 4/5G router built for critical and complex applications. It delivers ultra-reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity in demanding environments.

  • Built for Movement: Handles bumpy roads and long drives with no dropouts
  • 5G Release 16 + Wi-Fi 6: Latest tech, built to last
  • Multi-Vendor SIM: Accepts SIM cards from multiple providers and automatically picks the strongest network
  • Remote-Ready: Great for managing critical infrastructure in the field
  • Great Value: Premium performance without the premium price

Signal Handling You Can Trust

The onboard communication system accommodates 4G, 5G, GPS and WiFi signals simultaneously to keep your connection solid. When signals get weak or spotty, it automatically boosts them to keep you online. Even in areas with no coverage, it manages enough signal for critical data to get through.

The system also deploys a WiFi network around the vehicle with a radius of +-50 meters providing an extensive hotspot to work in.

For emergency and public services, this reliability is crucial because when lives are on the line, dropped connections aren’t an option.

Installation

When installed, the 5G router and the multi-band antenna form a powerful, high-performance vehicle connectivity solution, leveraging the vehicle’s battery for reliable power.

  • Smart Power Management – Ignition sensing prevents battery drain by ensuring the system powers down when the vehicle is idle.
  • Optimised Cable Management – The antenna is supplied with a combined cable loom, simplifying installation and routing within the vehicle’s interior.
  • Automotive-Grade Connectivity – All router connections use FAKRA connectors, ensuring secure, industry-compliant integration.

Always-On, Always-Connected

The system is designed for professionals working in challenging environments, where delays, dead zones, or dropped connections are unacceptable. It supports emergency responders streaming live data during critical missions, engineers monitoring equipment at remote sites, or utility teams sending updates from isolated locations. Unlike standard in-car Wi-Fi, this is robust connectivity built to ensure data flows seamlessly, no matter the location.
​
Whether you’re managing a fleet, or need dependable internet while mobile, this solution transforms your vehicle into a reliable operational hub. It’s durable, intelligent, and engineered for harsh conditions, maintaining connectivity when other systems fail.
