Cradlepoint has added another 4G router to its range – the MBR900. The product aims to provide an always on internet connection for business and home networks.
As well as supporting Ethernet-based data connections it’s ready to be used with 3G / 4G mobile broadband devices, such as USB modems.
This means that Cradlepoint’s MBR900 allows you to use both wired and wireless internet connections to create a redundant connection – when your wired connection goes down, the MBR900 will automatically activate your 3G / 4G wireless connection so you can carry on surfing.
The latest in the series, the MBR900 Mobile Broadband N Router provides Internet access to customers who cannot get digital subscriber line or cable, or who want a backup for their wired Internet service, according to Cradlepoint officials.
Satellite Internet service is expensive and doesn’t give the user a great experience, says Alton. Dial-up is out of choice for many users. “With the MBR900 and a data service plan from the customers’ 3G or 4G mobile broadband carriers, they can have broadband Internet speeds and connect every device in their home or office.”
Working
MBR900 works with a built-in “failsafe” feature. The system senses any disruption in the wired Internet connection and automatically fails over to either a 3G or 4G service, whichever is present. Once the wired Internet service has been restored, the MBR900 will then fail back to the wired Internet service.
Cradlepoint’s MBR900 Failsafe Gigabit N Router offers 3G and 4G mobile broadband compatibility with one USB port supporting more than 110 modems from all major U.S. carriers. It also features five 10/100 Ethernet ports.
The router is secured by 64/128 WEP, WPA and WPA2 and user login requirement. It supports 802.11n for broadest range and best throughput. The equipment does not require any software to run. MBR900 includes Cradlepoint’s WiPipe technology and sets up in just minutes.
Also included are multiple concurrent IPSec, L2TP and PPTP VPN pass-through sessions, two multiple input/multiple output antennas, and up to 32 concurrent device connections, according to sources.
