Today's transit agencies run a growing collection of onboard systems, including fare collection, passenger Wi-Fi, GPS tracking, camera systems, and diagnostics, often sourced from multiple vendors with no single point of accountability. For small and regional agencies operating in mixed-coverage rural environments, the result is reliability gaps, operational complexity, and support headaches that stretch already lean teams.

In this webinar, Digi International and Avail Technologies walk through how a unified technology approach can bring all those systems under one accountable partner, backed by one reliable communications backbone. We will cover how the Digi TX65 cellular router serves as the communications hub for the full Avail onboard suite, highlight dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) technology for intelligent carrier failover across coverage gaps, and demonstrate how Digi Remote Manager and Remote Reach give operations teams real visibility and out-of-band management without rolling a truck.

What You'll Learn

• How Avail Technologies integrates onboard transit systems and why a single communications hub is the key to making them work together
• How DSDS technology keeps buses connected by enabling fast, intelligent failover between carriers in rural and mixed-coverage areas
• How remote device management tools give operations teams the visibility and control to reduce downtime and resolve issues without a site visit
