Broadwire Networks
"Four-Nines" Network Reliability
Cradlepoint provides wireless backup of wired Internet connections for small-medium businesses. In the event of an outage of the primary Internet landline (T1/fiber, DSL, or cable/Coax) at a site, Cradlepoint devices automatically switch to its wireless LTE broadband connection within 30 seconds. The point-of-sale (POS) systems connected to the Cradlepoint router continue to operate at broadband speeds without further interruption, ensuring continuous uptime for POS transactions.
Solution Benefits:
Enterprise-class reliability:
The cost of T1 reliability is out of reach for many distributed businesses, but a small investment in failover solutions to augment DSL or Cable Internet to the level of T1 coverage is not.
Never say “no” to a sale:
Protect your Point-of-Sale system by using WAN Diversity for maximum uptime and revenue for peak-selling seasons.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP):
A layer 3 protocol that provides automatic default gateway selections on an IP network.
Out-of-Band Management:
Management through either the console port or the cloud provides a value-added layer to any failover solution. A secondary path to devices at remote locations when the primary network goes down means minimized disruption and downtime.
Using traditional wired backup?
Many small-medium businesses rely on Cradlepoint technology for both primary and secondary (failover) connections. The former application is used when the pre-existing connection is spotty or slow in bandwidth. I.e. a T1 or DSL connection. In a failover environment, if and when a hard-wired connection goes down the Cradlepoint router takes over in less than 30 seconds on 4G/LTE or 3G, depending on your area. LTE coverage is widely available in the US.We stock routers that are approved for the major carriers, such as Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile, and International.* Retail locations * Branch offices, or small and medium-sized businesses
