NetCloud Service Includes New Ruggedised IBR1700 Router, Combining Enterprise-Class Management, Security and SD-WAN Functionality with Fleet Management Capabilities<\/em><\/p>\n

Cradlepoint<\/a>, the global leader in cloud-delivered 4G LTE network solutions that provide a pathway to 5G, today announced a solution package for its NetCloud service that includes the new IBR1700 mobile router.\u00a0 The new NetCloud Solution Package for Mobile brings the benefits of software-defined wide-area networking (WAN) to first responders, transit operators, and other field force and fleet-based organisations that rely on simple-to-manage, reliable, and secure in-vehicle and mobile networks with always-on 4G LTE connectivity.\u00a0 Today\u2019s announcement is the third since Jan. 16, 2018, that introduces Cradlepoint NetCloud Solution Packages for new router endpoints for branch, mobile or IoT networking.<\/p>\n

First responders and related organisations that depend on distributed field forces and fleets to provide products and services need reliable and secure mobile networks with always-on 4G LTE connectivity.\u00a0 Their people and passengers must have access to mission-critical applications and the Internet from anywhere \u2013 with data flowing from onboard telemetry, sensors, surveillance cameras and other devices.\u00a0 However, managing and securing roving communications hubs is a challenge for IT teams as traditional mobile solutions fail to provide enterprise-class visibility, security and control capabilities of fixed branch networks.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCloud, mobile computing, IoT, and 4G\/5G wireless technologies are converging to create new solutions that improve the productivity, safety, and management of field workforces and fleet operations \u2013 including public safety, field service, utility, and transportation organisations,\u201d said Lee Doyle, Principal Analyst at Doyle Research.\u00a0 \u201cThe resulting proliferation of mobile networks will stretch IT teams as they seek to replicate the reliability, security, and management attributes of their branch networks, making the wireless WAN the next frontier for SD-WAN technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Cradlepoint NetCloud Solution Package features the company\u2019s newest ruggedised, all-in-one mobile router \u2013 the IBR1700.\u00a0 This new package, delivered as a service, combines the enterprise networking, security and management features that IT teams demand \u2013 including SD-WAN for LTE \u2013 with the Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) and telematics capabilities required by fleet managers.<\/p>\n

Purpose-Build, All-in-One Mobile Solution Delivered As-A-Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed to withstand extreme environments, the IBR1700 replaces multiple standalone boxes with an all-in-one mobile networking solution ideally suited for installations within a wide range of vehicles, including police, fire, ambulance, and other first responder vehicles such school and metro transit buses, light-rail and commuter trains or mobile command trailers.\u00a0 The IBR1700 comes standard with the following networking features:<\/p>\n
