THE INDUSTRY & COMPANY
Transportation leader focuses on reliable field connectivity
A major player in the transportation sector needed a rugged solution for real-time railway inspections. Their engineers and operators regularly diagnose rail systems and tracks using WiFi-connected devices and must simultaneously transmit data using 4G LTE for reporting. Ensuring dual-band WWAN WLAN simultaneous connectivity during fieldwork was critical to maintaining productivity and communication.
THE CHALLENGE & PAIN POINTS
Inconvenience of switching between WiFi and 4G LTE
The client’s previous setup only allowed communication via one wireless channel at a time—either WiFi or 4G. This limitation caused frequent disruptions during diagnostic tasks, wasting time and increasing operational complexity. Their priority was to eliminate this bottleneck and reduce equipment inefficiencies, ideally in the form of a simultaneous WiFi and 4G tablet.
THE TAILORED SOLUTION
Getac enables dual connectivity with software customization on a rugged tablet
Getac developed a customized solution using software customization on a rugged tablet to enable concurrent WLAN and WWAN functionality. With this modification, engineers could now conveniently interact with WiFi-based rail inspection devices while maintaining a stable 4G connection for real-time communication and data uploads. This upgrade delivered a seamless dual connectivity tablet capable of fast and reliable on-site diagnostics.
THE RESULTS & BENEFITS
Workflow continuity with lower costs and simpler IT
The customized rugged tablet with dual connectivity significantly improved diagnostic workflows and productivity for rail inspections. It eliminated the need to toggle between networks, reduced equipment clutter, and enabled uninterrupted fieldwork. With this solution backed by Getac’s trusted technical support, the client saw increased satisfaction across both engineering and IT teams. The same solution can also apply to sectors like automotive, industrial, and military, which also benefit from highly-reliable field connectivity.
