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.
