Overview

The InHand Networks VG710-H (IVG710-NRQ5) is a rugged 5G vehicle gateway for connected fleets. It combines a global multiband 5G SA/NSA radio rated up to 2.1 Gbps with four Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.1. It adds CAN, J1708, LIN and serial vehicle interfaces, multi-constellation GNSS with dead reckoning, and a programmable edge platform. All of this sits in a die-cast aluminum IP64 housing rated for -30 °C to +70 °C.

  • 5G NR SA/NSA with LTE and WCDMA fallback, global multiband 3GPP Rel-16 radio, speeds up to 2.1 Gbps
  • 4 × Gigabit Ethernet RJ45, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (AP/Client) and Bluetooth 4.1
  • Vehicle interfaces: 2 × CAN bus, J1708, LIN, RS-232, RS-485, DI/DO/AI, audio and 1-Wire
  • GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/Beidou GNSS with accelerometer and gyroscope dead reckoning, 2.5 m CEP
  • Programmable edge platform: Python, C/C++, Docker, Node-RED, Azure IoT Edge SDK
  • IP64 die-cast aluminum housing, -30 °C to +70 °C operation, 9–36 V DC input with ignition sensing
  • Dual-SIM (2FF) with VRRP, link backup, heartbeat detection and offline data caching
  • Put high-bandwidth 5G in every vehicle, with LTE and WCDMA fallback where 5G coverage ends

The InHand Networks VG710-H is a rugged 5G vehicle gateway built for connected fleets in public transport, logistics, emergency services and heavy-duty trucking. Part number IVG710-NRQ5 corresponds to InHand's VG710-H-NRQ5 configuration. It uses a global multiband 3GPP Release 16 radio covering 5G NR SA/NSA, LTE-FDD/LTE-TDD and WCDMA, with speeds up to 2.1 Gbps. InHand lists the NRQ5 as certified with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and FirstNet (5G), as well as FCC, IC and PTCRB.

Inside the vehicle, four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports connect cameras, displays and onboard systems. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (AP or client) and Bluetooth 4.1 handle crew devices and wireless sensors. For telematics, the gateway provides 2 × CAN bus, J1708, LIN, RS-232 and RS-485. It also has digital and analog I/O, audio (R, L, mic) and 1-Wire for driver ID or temperature probes. A GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou receiver is rated at 2.5 m CEP. It pairs with an onboard accelerometer and gyroscope for dead reckoning, so position tracking continues through tunnels and urban canyons.

An ARM Cortex-A7 platform with 1 GB DDR3 and 8 GB eMMC runs Python, C/C++ and Docker workloads, including Node-RED images. It comes with Python 3, Docker and Azure IoT Edge SDKs and supports MQTT, DDS, AMQP, REST and CoAP. Security covers IPsec, L2TP, GRE and OpenVPN, plus an SPI firewall and RADIUS, TACACS+ or LDAP authentication.

The die-cast aluminum IP64 housing operates from -30 °C to +70 °C on 9–36 V DC input. Ignition-sense power control and transient protection come built in, and standby draw is 0.006 W. Dual 2FF SIM slots, VRRP, heartbeat link detection and an offline data cache keep telemetry flowing when coverage drops.

Ideal for

  • Transit buses and coaches needing onboard Wi-Fi, CCTV backhaul and passenger information connectivity
  • Logistics and trucking fleets collecting CAN/J1708 diagnostics and live GNSS location
  • Emergency and public-safety vehicles on FirstNet requiring rugged 5G connectivity
  • Utility and field-service vehicles running edge applications for telemetry and asset tracking
  • Heavy-duty and specialty vehicles integrating cameras, sensors and third-party equipment into one telematics system

Questions buyers ask

Which carriers is the IVG710-NRQ5 certified with?

InHand lists the VG710-H-NRQ5 (5G NR, global, 3GPP Release 16) as certified with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and FirstNet (5G). It also carries FCC, IC, PTCRB, CE, E-Mark, ITxPT and RoHS approvals.

How is the VG710-H powered on in a vehicle?

The gateway needs the ignition (IGT) signal to power on. Wire the IGT pin on the 4-pin power connector to the vehicle's ignition-controlled circuit; input voltage is 9–36 V DC. Ignition delay and delayed power-off behavior are set under Administration > System > Basic Setup.

Do I need to configure an APN?

Usually not. Insert the SIM with the unit powered off, then apply ignition. The VG710-H auto-detects the carrier and applies the matching APN in most cases. If the link does not come up, log in at http://192.168.2.1 and go to Network > Cellular > Cellular to set the APN, authentication and dual-SIM options.

How does the VG710-H differ from the VG710-M?

The VG710-H uses RJ45 Ethernet and SMA antenna connectors and is designed for commercial fleets and standard in-vehicle deployments. The VG710-M uses M12 X/D-coded Ethernet and FAKRA connectors for vibration-resistant cabling in rail, public transit and heavy-duty vehicles.

Can I run my own applications on the gateway?

Yes. The integrated edge platform supports Python, C/C++ and Docker, including Node-RED and Ubuntu images. InHand provides Python 3, Docker and Azure IoT Edge SDKs, with Visual Studio Code as the supported IDE.
