With CradlePoint routers and the WiPipe™ platform, users can create up to five secure VPN tunnels simultaneously…without the expense and hassle of purchasing a VPN service option. What’s more, the encryption ciphers/algorithms employed by the WiPipe™ platform are far more robust than the VPN encryption offered by non-WiPipe™- powered solutions at similar price points.*

Enhanced security/filtering options

In addition to the base-level security of the login page, the WiPipe™ platform supports multiple levels of security, including: WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA-Enterprise. The WiPipe™ platform enables access control that can limit access to approved sites, limit web access based on time or dates, and/or block access from applications such as P2P utilities or games.

Optimized Wi-Fi performance

Not only does the WiPipe™ platform maximize performance on the mobile/wireless side of the equation, it also enhances Wi-Fi and Ethernet performance. CradlePoint’s Wi-Fi subsystem is tested to ensure compatibility with the greatest number of Wi-Fi devices. As part of the WiPipe™ platform, all CradlePoint routers are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance—the governing body for Wi-Fi standards. This third party certification ensures interoperability and adherence to Wi-Fi standards, which provides additional confidence for users.

Conclusion

The WiPipe™ platform is based on more than 27 patents pending. The over arching principle is to provide highly robust capabilities, a powerful feature set and superior performance, while maintaining maximum, security, compatibility/interoperability and ease of use. The results are valuable benefits for all users—whether they are beginners or sophisticated power users:
