On this occasion we are going to take a step in terms of the WiFi system as the communications center of the bus, going into the capabilities that this system can offer beyond mere data connectivity to on-board equipment.
As we all know, in a bus there is a multitude of on-board equipment, many of which require a data connection, but in turn, many of these equipment have connection interfaces that allow other equipment to obtain information regarding its operation, in order to to be able to integrate with third-party applications.
In this case, there are Wi-Fi systems with technical capabilities to connect via hardware to these other on-board devices so that they obtain information from these devices and use it. A clear example of this is the integration of video recording systems (DVRs) connected with advanced Wi-Fi equipment, which allow the transport operator to know the status of the camera recording systems in all its fleet from the management application of the WiFi service, so there is no need to check DVRs on site to ensure they are working properly. The same would be applicable to other systems such as satellite TV antennas, which would inform the WiFi router of the state in which it is in order to be able to know in real time and without leaving the office of possible anomalies in the operation of said antennas.
On the other hand, the opposite case can also occur to everything written above, and that is that our WiFi system can provide its own information to other external applications and for this our WiFi system has to meet a series of advanced requirements that allow us to carry out that communication and also in many cases do it in multiple ways to be compatible. A typical case is to take advantage of the GPS positioning obtained by the WiFi router to send it to external applications, for example mobile APPs. Another example, this one more technical, is to be able to derive the traffic generated in the router depending on the type of service demanded to a software platform or another to have a specific treatment.
In conclusion, just an idea:
An advanced Wi-Fi solution is capable of both integrating third-party signals and allowing you to integrate your own signals into third-party equipment.
To achieve this, the hardware must be advanced hardware, of course, but it must be accompanied by even more advanced software that allows all these data flows that we have discussed to be articulated.
