Trains are fast moving metal objects that travel through tunnels, mountains, remote areas, and a variety of other places that impact cellular connectivity negatively. Yet today’s market demands it, whether providing passenger Wi-Fi or container tracking, train operators need connectivity to be competitive. For one railroad company, the only way to ensure consistent connectivity across the continent was to manage multiple carrier relationships in multiple countries.

ReachTV

America’s largest in-airport TV network was ready for some football when they signed an
agreement that would allow them to stream NFL games in airports. Faced with
supporting 2500+ screens in 90 commercial airports, the current connectivity provider
couldn’t support the bandwidth needed to provide a viable video streaming
experience. With the season kicking off in a few short weeks, three of the largest
metropolitan airports in the United States were unable to receive streaming TV service.

Bandwidth Issues Before The Big Game

Dedicated to creating solutions to complex problems, Helix Wireless hand delivered
and installed hardware, completed backend integration, and tested bandwidth – all
before game day. The loss of revenue associated with the inability to stream NFL games
was avoided, allowing this business to remain America’s largest in-airport TV network.

client problem as an opportunity to deliver a qualified solution.

Helix has fortified its protection against possible threats and intrusions to IoT implementations by incorporating diverse security safeguards at multiple levels. Through the integration of numerous security strata, Helix enhances the comprehensive security stance of cellular deployments, rendering them more robust against prospective threats and attacks.

Multi-Layered Methodology

Strong encryption algorithms protect data transmitted between devices and backend systems, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties. With end-to-end encryption and secure communication protocols, Helix establishes a secure channel for data exchange, preventing eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Robust Encryption Protocols

With mutual authentication, both the IoT device and the backend server validate each other's identities before establishing a connection. This two-way authentication ensures that only authorized devices can access the network, and only trusted servers can interact with IoT devices.

Mutual Authentication

By continuously monitoring network traffic, data exchanges, and device behavior, Helix can swiftly detect any unusual activities or potential security breaches. This proactive approach enables us to identify and respond to threats in real-time, mitigating risks and preventing potential data breaches or unauthorized access to IoT devices.
