Designed for remote sites that require secure, reliable failover connectivity in the event of a primary link disruption, the L950 Series cellular broadband adapter is a simple addition at the branch which significantly improves uptime and business continuity. These sophisticated devices can be configured at scale with NetCloud to offer a full range of zero-touch deployment, troubleshooting, and management features and integrate into existing configurations with standards-based routing, traffic shaping, and VPN support.
LTE wireless WANs provide a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective failover option to minimize disruption in the event of an outage. Working in conjunction with an existing router or SD-WAN, the L950 Series LTE Adapter establishes a cellular connection based on established failover policies. The L950, despite its compact design, houses a Cat 7 modem, two Ethernet interfaces with a power over ethernet (PoE), a dual SIM capability to connect up to two carriers, and antenna. With this performance, many remote location operations and applications continue functioning while in failover.
Establish secure network connections to get operations running while waiting for a wired connection. L950 Series LTE Adapters uniquely connect via LTE independently of the primary link so they don’t require prior connection via wired networks. Cradlepoint wireless broadband solutions can be set up in hours with zero-touch deployment without IT staff on location, so local personnel can set up the network. Once the wired link is established, the L950 Series LTE Adapter falls into backup mode.
The NetCloud Service provides everything needed to unlock the power of LTE at the network edge and connect devices to critical applications and services. It enables customers to build and manage wireless WANs with complete lifecycle management, true zero-touch deployment, robust security, and foundational SD-WAN traffic management for optimal application performance and reliability. The service includes a warranty for as long as an active subscription on the router, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates.
To mitigate the effects of an unreachable router, the L950 offers efficient, advanced Out-of-Band Management. Network administrators can connect to the router and other in-line devices over the air, even if IP and Ethernet are unavailable on the router, improving uptime, and reducing truck rolls.
