CradlePoint Routers: Do More with Your 3G/4G Broadband Service

Posted on Dec 12th 2011

People today require Internet access while they’re on the move. Whether on buses, trains and planes, or businesses that deliver services to customers on-site, Internet access is vital! With mobile Internet connections, commuters can work productively on the way to the office, service providers can save time by handling data input and billing on-site, and leisure travelers can enjoy sitting back and streaming entertainment anywhere. Cradlepoint 3G/4G Mobile Routers and Failover Protection Routers can help ensure you maintain a secure and reliable internet connection at all times. 

Mobile WiFi Hotspots: Create Secure WiFi networks with your 3G/4G Broadband Service

When mobile broadband/3G service first became available, users bought ExpressCards or USB air cards (modems) that plugged into their laptops. These modems established a mobile broadband connection to the Internet. The only problem? The mobile broadband connection was restricted to the laptop that had the ExpressCard or USB air card physically plugged into it and could not be shared.

Problem Solved!

Mobile broadband routers solve that problem and take the next logical step: allowing users of mobile broadband 3G/4G service to share their mobile broadband connection. Instead of plugging the ExpressCard or USB air card into an individual laptop, it gets plugged into the mobile broadband router. The mobile broadband router takes that fast mobile broadband connection and allows it to be shared by creating a Wi-Fi hotspot and/or by providing physical Ethernet jacks that other devices can plug into.

Uninterrupted Internet: Maximizing Revenue and Minimizing Business Risk with 3G/4G Failover
