A repeatable vehicle edge layer
Standardize local networking, applications, storage and selected processing on one managed platform instead of adding a new appliance for every idea.
ARED Mobility Edge
Turn vehicles into managed digital service platforms.
Run passenger Wi-Fi, local content, supported applications and selected processing on the vehicle, while centralized systems continue to support reporting, synchronization and fleet-wide operations.
Vehicle edge
Services close to passengers and data
Hybrid architecture
Edge plus centralized systems
Phased deployment
Start simple, expand after validation
What Changes With ARED
Simplify. Keep operating. Expand.
The technology stays behind the customer outcome.
Local passenger services
Approved local applications, Wi-Fi and cached content can continue at the vehicle even when the mobile connection is interrupted.
Make future services software-led
Once the edge platform is validated, additional compatible camera, sensor or intelligence services can be added in phases.
How It Works
Keep the right work local. Synchronize what needs to be centralized.
ARED is hybrid by design. Local-first does not mean cloud-free.
Input / environment
Vehicle devices & passengers
Cameras, GPS, sensors, passenger devices and other approved interfaces create or consume local data.
→
At the location
ARED Edge Gateway
Provides local networking, content, applications, storage and selected processing on the vehicle.
→
When needed
Fleet / data center
Receives the information needed for dashboards, backup, history, fleet-wide analysis and central policies.
Mobility Services
Start with the simplest high-value vehicle services.
The first deployment should stay focused. Camera AI and sensor intelligence should be separate validation phases unless specifically selected.
Passenger Wi-Fi
Provide managed local access and passenger-facing services on the vehicle.
Offline Content & Advertising
Serve approved content locally so the same files do not need to be repeatedly downloaded over cellular networks.
Local Applications
Run supported route, information, service or operational applications close to passengers and staff.
Synchronization
Send required health, events, analytics and selected information centrally when connectivity is available.
Camera Intelligence — Later Phase
Connect compatible existing cameras and validate selected video use cases after the basic platform is proven.
Sensor / GPS Integration — Later Phase
Read approved interfaces where available and combine vehicle context with local or fleet-level analytics.
Best Fit
Where this solution makes sense.
Bus Operators
Passenger Wi-Fi, local content, applications and staged intelligence.
Fleet Operators
Standardize local infrastructure across distributed vehicles.
Public Transport Programs
Use edge + central infrastructure with clear data governance and auditability.
Mobility Technology Partners
Deploy software or services on a managed vehicle edge layer.
Clear Scope
What ARED manages — and what may remain separate.
ARED Managed Layer
- ARED edge gateway and managed platform
- Local applications included in the agreed scope
- Local storage/processing sized to the use case
- Remote monitoring and platform updates
- Secure synchronization interfaces
- Technical escalation for the ARED layer
May Be Separate
- Vehicle cameras, GPS and external sensors
- SIM/mobile data service
- Vehicle-specific installation hardware and cabling
- Central fleet software not provided by ARED
- Safety-critical vehicle controls
- Additional data-center capacity where required
Phased Validation
Prove the simple platform before adding every future idea.
ARED's mobility work separates the first proof from later camera and sensor intelligence. That keeps the business case measurable and prevents an oversized POC.
Recommended first phase
Wi-Fi, offline content or advertising, synchronization and agreed basic analytics. Camera AI, sensor intelligence and any NVR replacement should follow only after compatibility, storage and operational requirements are validated.
Commercial Model
Request an Assessment
Mobility pricing requires a fleet workshop.
Pricing depends on vehicle count, gateway profile, connectivity, installation, storage, application scope, support and any camera or sensor integration. The production business case should use the operator's real data and infrastructure costs.
Start with one vehicle use case that can be measured.
We will map the onboard workflow, what should remain local, what must reach the central system and how to validate the first deployment.
ARED deploys directly in Rwanda. Outside Rwanda, deployments are partner-led. See the Partner Program.
