Using Your Cellular Service as Network Failover to Guarantee 100% Uptime

Business now depends on intertwined applications that all rely on Internet access to operate. A single minute of service provider network downtime can cost small businesses thousands of dollars of lost revenue, and large organizations millions of dollars of lost revenue and productivity. Because of this, network reliability has become one of the biggest concerns for business owners or business unit managers. Wireless routers are an easy-to-deploy, inexpensive way to leverage your cellular service as a network failover for your traditional broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, fiber).

WLANmall customers are now using CradlePoint wireless routers with WAN DIVERSITY™ to automatically and seamlessly switch over to a wireless 4G LTE broadband connection when their traditional land-line network connection fails. Any systems connected to the Cradlepoint device continue to operate at broadband speeds, keeping their business running in the face of a network outage.

As a cloud-managed solution, Cradlepoint balances the strengths of wired and wireless networks by converging 4G LTE, Ethernet (DSL, Cable, T1, MetroE), and WiFi as WAN, through a single networking device. Using a built-in SIM card, Cradelpoint routers can connect to an LTE and LTE advanced network to deliver broadband services to any enterprise environment.

Cradlepoints dual modem technology, gives you the ability to:

  • Deploy multiple wireless backup connections to achieve 99.999% uptime.
