Smarter Vehicles, Safer Roads

The Multiband Configurable Networking Unit (MCNU) is a lightweight, weatherproof wireless communications platform that is used to build IEEE 802.11 standards-compliant, broadband communication networks. The MCNU is designed to support transportation management, safety and security applications including support for Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII).

The MCNU can be installed in a car (mobile or portable) or can be attached to infrastructure - light poles, power poles, intersection light standards, highway signs, etc. With TechnoCom's MCNU platform customers can rapidly deploy VII safety, traffic and e-commerce applications.

As part of the VII initiative, TechnoCom has showcased its MCNU platform at public demonstrations inlcuding the AASHTO road show and Innovative Mobility Showcase celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the first opening of the Interstate Highway. MCNU demonstrations include: Traffic signal violation warning, public safety vehicle priority signal activation and in-vehicle signing.
