Using Cradlepoint Wireless Routers for Remote Monitoring and Management

Field-deployed or geographically distributed devices that enable us to monitor or remote network locations have traditionally been a headache to manage.Initial installation was just the beginning of costly management of these devices.If the device went down, lost power or fell off the network, they required truck rolls and human intervention. The number of remote and “connected” devices has become far too large to manage through traditional methods.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things (IoT) allows for a dramatic reduction in remote truck rolls, therefore reducing costs and improving accuracy of these devices by automating communications between central systems and remote devices.

Cradlepoint wireless routers provide reliable remote network connectivity for a huge number of devices that traditionally needed be managed via manual intervention or costly and slow dial-up internet access. Some examples where Cradlepoint wireless routers can be used include:

  • Automated transactions at DVD kiosks
  • Remote energy-meter reading
  • Retail kiosks for credit card transaction and inventory
  • IP cameras and sensors or
  • As a communications backup to data center routers or other devices

Cradlepoint solutions give you the ability to easily set up an M2M network anywhere, regardless of space constraints or other connectivity challenges; and to keep it running reliably day in and day out, with little or no effort on your part. M2M-IoT solutions from Cradlepoint provides off-the-shelf ease of use coupled with industry-leading reliability and scalability for zero-touch configuration, real-time monitoring and device management, and analytics to manage security and PCI compliance.. Cradlepoint's off-the-shelf solutions with any carrier's 3G/4G/LTE/WiFi network, without any special configuration or other setup requirements.
