Infrastructure Networking and Fleet
Management Networking
Beyond the technological capabilities of a 5G fleet
telematics-equipped vehicle, there needs to be an
underlying networking infrastructure to support
the high-speed and URLLC 5G features ideal for
modern fleet management. Though the 5G build-
out for high-speed services in US metropolitan
areas has been aggressively pursued by
noteworthy telecommunication service providers
(telcos), the build-out of 5G services in more
suburban or rural areas has been far slower. This
is where the harmonization between 5G terrestrial
services and GEO/LEO satellite services is crucial
in enabling seamless connectivity for 5G services
wherever a mobile vehicle may go. The US Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) has recently
approved Starlink LEO satellite ground terminals
for mobile use, which is a huge step in facilitating
high-speed data connectivity for new satellite
services to fleet vehicles.
Beyond the underlying networking infrastructure,
remote networking and management services
need to be as responsive and reliable as the 5G
network they operate through. Many of these
new fleet management services will need to be
intelligently managed through distributed cloud
services to minimize latency, ensure reliability, and
allow for high data transfer rates. Moreover, these
services should be paired with connected edge
hardware robust enough to handle the rugged
fleet transportation environment.
Conclusion
The next evolution of fleet management is emerging
as a diverse combination of 5G services and new
AI/ML and AR/VR technologies. Eventually, cellular
vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) will emerge to enable
even greater levels of efficiency and safety. These
new solutions are poised to tackle many modern
fleet management challenges, which only increase
as fleets grow more extensive and the burden on
logistics transportation rises.
