Question: How do organizations use and remotely manage LTE and wired links for reliable Internet in temporary stores and other pop-up network scenarios?
Pop-up networks are increasingly important in virtually every industry. Trends toward field workforces, connected vehicles, and temporary retail are driving the need for pop-up connectivity that is secure, easy to deploy anywhere, fast to turn up, and that can be monitored and managed from a central location.
Often in pop-up situations, wired connectivity is either unavailable or unreliable. In this use case, 4G LTE connectivity can be up and running instantly, leveraging the high availability of cellular broadband.
From short-term Point-of-Sale to disaster response and temporary command centers, 4G LTE pop-up networks enable less dependence on highly variable wired WAN links and provide more control over information security. A multi-WAN Cradlepoint branch router solution provides plug-and-play ease of deployment, regardless of whether wired or wireless links are being used. And with multi-carrier support, finding a good wireless connection is easy.
All of the Cradlepoint branch solutions in your enterprise can be monitored and managed remotely, which is particularly important in pop-up networks, where no IT staff is available. NetCloud Manager is a single-pane-of-glass platform that provides robust visibility into and control of your networks.
