Leveraging best-in-class Cisco Systems routing technology, the DuraMAR(TM) 1100 supports the Mobile IP standard for seamless roaming through wireless networks. This wireless agnostic device can interface with most legacy and future data radios. A typical installation would connect onboard applications to the enterprise back-office through public cellular, private VHF/UHF, 802.11, satellite, or any combination thereof.

The DuraMAR also provides the capability to automatically select the optimum route for data flow based on the wireless networks available at any moment in time. Mobile IP functionality provides a persistent interface so wireless network transitions are transparent to sensitive on-board applications. Encryption, authentication and policy routing are standard features used to protect sensitive data from malicious attacks.

Standard vehicle features include a robust power supply system with wide input range, interface and system status LED's, rugged circular connectors and 75W conditioned auxiliary output power for remote radio node modules (Power-over-Ethernet capable).
