Automatic Failover protects against DSL/cable outages
In select CradlePoint mobile broadband router models, the WiPipe™ platform provides
Automatic Failover protection. If DSL/Cable/T1/Fiber is the primary source of broadband
connectivity, a user can also plug in an ExpressCard and/or USB air card into the
CradlePoint router, and configure it for failover. In the event of a DSL/Cable/T1/Fiber
outage, the CradlePoint router senses the problem and automatically switches to
mobile broadband Internet service. All wired and Wi-Fi devices connected to the
CradlePoint router continue to operate at broadband speeds without interruption.
When the DSL/Cable/T1/Fiber connection is restored, the CradlePoint router
automatically switches back. No user intervention is needed.
Added-value VPN functionality
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide a secure connection between two public
endpoints, ensuring the confidentiality of the data that passes between them. Most
mobile broadband providers offer a VPN service option. However, this service option
typically requires the purchase of a new air card, new service setup and higher
monthly fees.
