Building smarter, more resilient connected roadways


Connect and secure your roadway assets to build a scalable intelligent transportation system (ITS) enabling safer, more fluid, and more efficient roadway operations.

Real-time traffic management

Reduce congestion and improve safety by connecting all roadway assets to a secure and scalable network to gain real-time insights and optimize operations.

Infrastructure for autonomous vehicles

Ensure seamless communication with a high-bandwidth, low-latency foundation for Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) and autonomous corridors.

Incident detection and video monitoring

Respond faster to incidents and increase safety with a scalable network that connects high-definition cameras, LiDAR, and sensors.

Data-driven weather and hazard alerts

Provide timely safety alerts and divert traffic from hazards by integrating rural weather information systems (RWIS) and remote sensors.
