Radio Modems

The Cisco FM4500 Mobi is a is a high-performance mobility-communications radio transceiver, designed to deliver fast, stable connectivity from any slow- or fast-moving vehicle to a wayside network, particularly within mission-critical market sectors and in extreme environments.

The FM4500 Mobi has received numerous railway and transport certifications, making it a popular choice for deployment on many transportation systems in the USA and worldwide, as well as in ports, intermodal yards and mining environments. Its low-latency, high-bandwidth characteristics make it the class leader in a diverse portfolio of applications, including but not limited to computer-based train control (CBTC), real-time situation monitoring, and on-board client services for rail (such as Wi-Fi and VoIP).

The FM4500 Mobi is equipped with M12 connectors, making it the ideal choice for onboard communications in very high-vibration environments (such as mine trucks, terminal yard cranes and tractors).

Wi-Fi on board

Your passengers expect wireless high-speed connectivity everywhere, and FLUIDITY delivers it. With our trackside technology, we are able to deliver connectivity up to 500 Mbps to fast-moving vehicles and trains.

Works with FLUIDITY, our unique mobility solution

The FM4500 Mobi supports FLUIDITY, the ultimate broadband connectivity solution both for high-speed vehicles and very high-bandwidth situations.

Up to 500 Mbps of usable throughput is now a reality, no matter what the situation: Environments of extreme temperature and humidity, punishing vibration levels, safety-critical working conditions, demanding contractual requirements, and vehicles traveling at up to 225 mph/360 Km/h are all part of what the FM4500 Mobi was designed to handle.

FLUIDITY's seamless 'Make-before-break' approach ensures zero-millisecond handoff times, persistent network sessions, and can accommodate any type of data traffic.

Reduce the cost of network ownership by selecting the amount of throughput you need

Limit the cost of network ownership with FluidThrottle by selecting only the amount of throughput required. More throughput can be easily achieved by upgrading the system with software plug-ins when traffic requirements increase. FluidThrottle makes Cisco FM cost-effective and future-ready.

Prodigy 2.0 for reliable mission-critical applications

Our Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based transmission protocol is built to overcome the limits of standard wireless protocols and to deliver an infrastructure with a higher level of reliability.

At the base of our innovative transmission protocol is a traffic optimization algorithm that allows every Cisco FM radio to assign a specific level of priority and reliability to every packet transmitted. The result is a better, more reliable, multiservice wireless infrastructure.

Web interface configures, monitors, and troubleshoots the wireless network

The Cisco FM4500 Mobi includes the FMQuadro web interface, which allows you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the wireless network in real time, without any additional software.

To simplify the configuration of the wireless network, the radio has a built-in spectrum analyzer and a real-time bandwidth monitoring tool.

In markets where customers are constantly moving and business opportunities open up suddenly, you need to be able to quickly deliver enhanced services anywhere at any time. The 4G LTE solution on the Cisco second-generation integrated services routers (ISR G2) can help your business expand rapidly while making critical applications and services available when and where needed.

With 4G LTE, wireless WAN (WWAN) is no longer just a backup solution. Your business can run applications such as interactive video and TelePresence on a primary 4G LTE WWAN link, which is 10 to 15 times faster and 5 times lower latency than 3G.

The solution reduces cost, complexity, and time to deployment by securely extending wireless mobility to any location covered by a 4G LTE tower, without compromising quality of experience and timely delivery.

The Cisco 4G LTE WWAN EHWICs are tightly integrated with the services provided on the award-winning Cisco ISR G2 devices, which deliver secure data, voice, video, and mobility services. The Cisco 4G LTE WWAN EHWICs are supported on the modular Cisco 1900, 2900, and 3900 Series ISR G2 devices.

Enterprises are looking for ways to reduce deployment time, enable comprehensive media services, increase revenue, and improve business continuity. The Cisco 4G LTE WWAN EHWICs, when coupled with a service provider's wireless data plan, provide a rapidly deployable, high-bandwidth, reliable, and secure solution for branch offices and remote sites. With 4G LTE data rates, the Cisco 4G LTE WWAN EHWICs offer a primary WAN link solution capable of running comprehensive branch-office services, including voice and video services.

4G LTE is being used to provide both primary connectivity and network resiliency for business continuity. With greater agility and speed-to-deployment than wired solutions, 4G LTE reduces network cost and complexity while maintaining ROI. Practical applications of 4G LTE for distributed enterprises such as parallel networks, primary connection, failover, in-vehicle, network convergence, and wireless WAN diversity. The 4G LTE EHWICs with ISR G2 is the industry leader to bring enterprise grade wireline like functionality such as Quality of Service (QoS) for cellular, Multi-VRF for cellular and Unified Communications solutions over LTE.
