Question: How does LTE improve uptime in a branch location?
Often an enterprise’s first step into wireless networking is using wireless links for failover. This delivers continuity to the branch, keeping critical applications and Internet access always available. Branch continuity is essential because enterprises today have so many devices, applications, customers, and employees that depend on continuous network connectivity.
So, what can you do when your primary WAN, which often is a wired line, has an outage and stops sending data?
Many organizations use Cradlepoint’s enterprise-class wireless solutions. These convert LTE to Ethernet by providing the primary router with a second WAN connection — a link that is NOT reliant on last-mile wired connectivity. When the primary WAN link fails, traffic is automatically moved to the wireless link, restoring network access and the flow of mission-critical data.
All Cradlepoint branch solutions can be monitored and managed remotely — WITHOUT IT staff at each location — through NetCloud Manager, a cloud-based management platform that provides robust visibility into and control of your networks.
