W1100 Wireless WAN Gateway

For 3G wireless data services

New 3G and 2G data service offerings are increasing the use of cellular technology for a wide range of networking applications such as wireless back-up, primary access, and cell site management. The W1100 Wireless WAN Gateway provides reliable access to wireless data services for businesses and carriers. This cost effective solution is designed for easy setup and operation with an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI).

The wireless WAN interface is provided through a standard PCMCIA card installed in and managed by the W1100 and supports the newest 3G services. The Ethernet LAN interface provides standard connectivity to routers and other LAN equipment, allowing use of existing equipment.

To protect the network from outside intrusion, the W1100 contains a Stateful Packet Inspection firewall to identify and block attacks. The W1100 includes a Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliance for encryption, enabling secure access across the cellular network.

With cellular data services becoming less expensive and more accessible, there are many potential application uses. For businesses, applications such as retail, brokerages, and other financial-based businesses require the flow of information in real time. The business ceases to function when the network is unavailable. The W1100 is practical as a back-up to mission critical networking applications.

It supports applications when the primary network fails, and the speeds are better than other options, such as a modem or ISDN line. The W1100 can also be used for primary access as a wireless router or as a pass-through device to an existing router. With inexpensive data plans and accessibility from almost anywhere, the W1100 enables mobile or temporary work locations to obtain network access easily, even when a wireline option isn’t feasible.

Wireless carriers need to continually have access to and manage cell sites, ideally remotely. The W1100 improves cell site network performance and reliability through remote access for management over the cellular network. If a cell site goes down, a technician can log in from anywhere to begin diagnostics and reporting. This improves performance and technician efficiency, ultimately reducing carrier costs.
