Several cameras at once
Front, rear and side views give the remote driver a full picture. Four 802.3at PoE+ ports power and connect the cameras over one cable each, on X-coded M12 connectors that lock in place.
Remote vehicle teleoperation over 5G
Teleoperation puts the driver at a remote station, controlling the vehicle through live camera views sent over 5G. The computer on board has to capture several cameras, send them over a cellular link with as little delay as possible, and pass the driver’s commands back to the vehicle. That is a job for a rugged box PC built for vehicle power and vibration.
Teleoperation is used where a vehicle needs a person’s judgement but not their presence: moving vehicles around depots and yards, supporting autonomous vehicles when they meet something they cannot handle, and working machines in places that are unpleasant or unsafe to sit in. The Nuvo-9100VTC and Nuvo-9200VTC used here come from our in-vehicle computers, with ignition control, E-Mark certification and locking connectors for cameras.

What the onboard computer has to handle for teleoperation
The remote driver only sees what the vehicle sends, so every part of the chain from camera to cellular modem matters.
A fast cellular link
An M.2 B key socket with SIM takes a 5G module, and a mini PCIe socket with its own SIM can carry a second modem, so the vehicle is not tied to one network. Cellular bonding software can combine the two links.
Processing for video
Compressing and recording several camera streams while running the control software needs real processing headroom. The LGA1700 socket takes Intel 12th to 14th Gen Core processors up to the Core i9-14900 with 24 cores, with up to 128 GB of DDR5.
A path to the vehicle's controls
The driver’s commands reach the vehicle over an isolated CAN bus port, with four isolated inputs and four isolated outputs for switches, lights and interlocks.
A record of every session
An M.2 NVMe slot at PCIe Gen4 x4 holds the system, and two 2.5-inch SATA drives in RAID 0 or 1 keep recorded video, with hot-swap trays so drives can be changed at the depot.
Vehicle power
An 8–48 V DC input with ignition control starts and shuts down the computer with the vehicle. Our ignition control guide covers the settings.
How it works · 4 steps 5G teleoperation
From the vehicle's cameras to the remote driver and back
The onboard computer sits in the middle of a loop that runs continuously while the vehicle is under remote control.
-
Capture
PoE+ camerasIP cameras around the vehicle feed video to the computer over locking M12 cables that also carry their power.
-
Compress
Onboard encodingThe computer compresses each stream to fit the available bandwidth and records a copy to the RAID drives.
-
Send
5G linkVideo and vehicle status travel to the remote station over 5G, with a second modem available as a fallback.
-
Control
CAN busThe driver’s steering, speed and braking commands come back over the same link and reach the vehicle through the isolated CAN port.
The teleoperation software decides what happens if the link drops, typically bringing the vehicle to a controlled stop. Our white paper on 4G, LTE and 5G in industrial computers covers modem and antenna choices for a moving vehicle.

Choose the Nuvo-9200VTC when the build needs a PCIe x16 card alongside the teleoperation hardware. For either computer we fit the processor, memory, NVMe and RAID drives, install and configure the 5G and backup modems with their antennas, set the ignition timing and BIOS power behaviour, and install Windows or Linux with the camera and CAN drivers in place. Our E-Mark guide explains what the certification covers on a road vehicle.

Teleoperation FAQs
-
What Is Ignition Control on a Vehicle Computer?
Ignition control lets a vehicle computer follow the ignition key: it starts when the engine starts, and when the ignition is switched off it waits for a set delay and then shuts down cleanly. That protects the data on the computer and stops it draining the vehicle battery while parked.
-
What Is Cellular Bonding?
Cellular bonding combines several mobile connections, usually from different SIM cards and networks, into one faster and more reliable link. Traffic is split across all the connections and put back together by a bonding server, so even a single video call or upload uses the combined bandwidth and keeps going if one connection weakens or drops.
-
What Is CAN Bus?
CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is a two-wire network that lets controllers, sensors and actuators share short messages without a central computer. Developed by Bosch for vehicles, it uses a noise-resistant differential signal and gives every message a priority, so critical data gets through first. It is now standard in vehicles, machinery and remote equipment.
-
What Is a Multi-SIM Router?
A multi-SIM router is a cellular router with two or more SIM card slots. In its simplest form, one modem switches to a backup SIM when the first fails. Routers with a modem per SIM can use every connection at once, for load balancing or bonding, which is what high-bandwidth, always-on applications need.
-
What Is an M12 X-Coded Connector?
An M12 X-coded connector is the 8-pin M12 coding for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Its four twisted pairs are separated by a cross-shaped shield that controls crosstalk at high speed, and it can carry Power over Ethernet with a suitable cable. It is defined in IEC 61076-2-109.

PoE vs PoE+ vs PoE++: The 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt Standards
PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ are the three generations of IEEE Power over Ethernet. PoE (802.3af) supplies about 15 W per port, PoE+ (802.3at) about 30 W, and PoE++ (802.3bt) 60 W (Type 3) or 90 W (Type 4). PoE and PoE+ use two of the four cable pairs; PoE++ can use all four.
