5G Fleet Modernization: Transitioning to Aviat Aprisa LTE 5G

Aviat Aprisa LTE 5G ruggedized router for police fleet vehicle installation
Current fleet connectivity relies on aging LTE hardware burdened by rising mandatory subscription costs. To ensure officer safety through reliable communication and to stabilize the long-term fleet budget, you should consider transitioning to the Aviat Aprisa LTE 5G solution, specifically engineered for public safety and offering FirstNet Trusted connectivity with a unique ownership model that eliminates the subscription tax common with incumbent vendors.

Enhancing Officer Safety with Mission-Critical Connectivity

Rapid Cold Boot and Vibration-Proof Hardware

  • Rapid Cold Boot (<60 Seconds): In emergency response, every second counts. The Aprisa LTE 5G connects to dispatch and CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch) systems in under a minute—significantly faster than current fleet standards.
  • Vibration-Proof Connectivity: Standard SMA antenna connectors can vibrate loose over time. Aviat utilizes QMA push-on/locking connectors, ensuring that critical radio and data links remain secure during high-speed pursuits or off-road maneuvers.

Defense-in-Depth: Protecting CJIS Data

  • Vetted Defense-in-Depth: Features Aviat VRF Protect, which creates virtual firewalls within the vehicle. This isolates sensitive CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) data from other vehicle systems (like dash-cams or vehicle Wi-Fi), preventing a breach of one system from compromising the entire network.

Financial Benefits: Achieving Long-Term Budget Stability

The “Zero Subscription” Ownership Model

  • Unlike competitors that require mandatory annual licenses to keep routers functional, Aviat offers a CapEx-first ownership model. This can save the department hundreds of thousands of dollars over a typical 4-to-6 year vehicle lifecycle by eliminating recurring per-device software fees.

Compliance and Federal Grant Eligibility (NDAA/BABA)

  • Domestic Security: As a US-based company, Aviat is fully compliant with NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and BABA (Build America Buy America standards), ensuring our infrastructure is secure and eligible for federal grant funding (e.g., BEAD or JAG grants).

Maximizing Operational Efficiency

  • Unified Management: If the department already utilizes Aviat for microwave backhaul, the Aprisa 5G routers can be managed via the same ProVision Plus management software. This single pane of glass allows technicians to troubleshoot a cruiser’s connection and the tower’s microwave link simultaneously.
  • Industrial Ruggedization Certified for:
    • Shock & Vibration SAE J1455 – the industry standard for the design and testing of ruggedized electronic equipment;
    • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) to EN 301 489 – the harmonized European standard to protect radio equipment from electromagnetic disturbances, in vehicle deployments.
Aviat Networks provides a more rugged, secure, and fiscally predictable solution than the current commercial-grade incumbents. Secure your communication future while freeing operational funds for other critical safety equipment by moving to the Aprisa LTE 5G.

Modernize Your Fleet Today—No Waiting Lists.
