When a patrol car loses its connection or a utility truck drops off the map during a storm, the clock starts ticking. Is it a failure in the vehicle’s 5G router, or an issue with the microwave backhaul connecting the remote tower? For too long, Public Safety and Utility fleet managers have been forced to juggle fragmented management platforms and expiring licenses just to keep mission-critical teams online. The Aviat Aprisa 5G router changes the math. By unifying vehicle networking with your existing backhaul and eliminating the “subscription tax” that drains annual budgets, Aviat offers a ruggedized, “set-it-and-forget-it” solution built for the real-world rigors of the field.

Why Your Fleet Should Switch to Aviat Aprisa 5G Routers
Eliminate the “Subscription Tax” (CapEx vs. OpEx)
You probably operate your network on 4 to 6-year vehicle life cycles.
- The Problem: Other suppliers require a 3 or 5-year cloud subscription. When that expires, renewing a fleet of 500 vehicles can cost $250,000 to $400,000 in OpEx that needs to be budgeted.
- The Aviat Solution: Aviat uses a CapEx model. You buy the router and the management software (ProVision Plus) once. There is no mandatory ransomware-style license to keep the router’s 5G radio or VPN active.

Simplify Operations with Single Pane of Glass Management
Troubleshooting from Dispatch to the Vehicle
You may already use Aviat for your microwave Backhaul Network (the wireless links that connect dispatch to the radio towers).
- The Efficiency Gap: Using other solutions forces your team to learn a second, completely different management platform.
- The Aviat Advantage: Managing the Aprisa 5G Router in the same ProVision Plus dashboard as your microwave network reduces training time and allows for End-to-End troubleshooting. If a cruiser loses connection, you can see instantly if it’s the vehicle or the microwave links connecting it.

Industrial Ruggedness for Zero Maintenance
Certified Protection: ISO 7637-2 and SAE J1455
- Power Protection: Police vehicles experience massive voltage spikes when starting engines or running sirens. The Aprisa is certified for ISO 7637-2 (vehicle electrical transients), meaning fewer blown fuses and less downtime for the fleet.
- Shock & Vibration: SAE J1455 – the industry standard for the design and testing of ruggedized electronic equipment for vehicle applications. It defines tests for thermal, humidity, salt spray, vibration, and electrical endurance to ensure durability under harsh, real-world operating conditions.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): EN 301 489 – harmonized European standard for radio equipment that defines essential immunity and emission requirements to protect equipment from electromagnetic disturbances in vehicle deployments.
- Thermal Management: Unlike competitors that may throttle 5G speeds when sitting in a hot trunk in 100°F weather, Aviat uses passive heat-sinking to maintain full 3.4 Gbps throughput without fans.
