Reduce the cost of mission-critical highway communications networks

road

Deploy a single, intelligent, multiservice, and ultra-broadband network architecture

Nokia helps highway agencies and departments of transportation to enable operational efficiency for safe, on-time and connected highway journeys through a single, intelligent, multiservice and ultra-broadband network architecture for all communications needs of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).

Challenge: Building a simplified and optimized communications infrastructure for highways

Often a highway's communications infrastructure is a legacy of ITS growth with an obsolete patchwork of many voice, video and data networks operating in parallel and with limited interconnectivity. Highway agencies are in a need of a simplified and optimized communications infrastructure capable to support the unique set of network requirements of each ITS application, critical and less-critical. This network infrastructure must support a variety of legacy communications technologies, such as SDH, SONET or TDM, while new ITS services are IP-based.

Solution: Benefit from a single, intelligent and mission-critical network architecture for highways

The Nokia mission-critical solution for intelligent highways meets all the communications needs of an ITS - reducing operational costs while also improving safety. Highway agencies benefit from real-time, multimedia communications between traffic management systems and roadside equipment, vehicles, travelers, and all highway stakeholders.
