CradlePoint Mission-Critical Broadband Router & WiMAX Integrated Modem Enclosure

The Mission-Critical Broadband Router & WiMAX Integrated Modem Enclosure from CradlePoint is a combination of a MBR1400 router that can be used with the MC100W. The MC100W is an inactivated WiMAX modem that you need to activate with Clearwire, Verizon or Sprint. The MBR1400 is a wireless WAN connectivity for distributed enterprise and retail locations and MC100W is the WiMAX Edition.

The MBR1400 Business Series Mission-Critical Wireless N Broadband Router offers the latest high speed 3G/4G wireless connectivity that delivers continuous uptime and bandwidth required to support growth in cloud computing and ensures against loss of productivity and business opportunities. This simple and easy to install router features automatic failover to Wireless WAN connection when wired WAN disruption occurs. Automatic failback happens when wired WAN connection is restored.

The integrated WiMAX module provides downlink throughput of 10 Mbps peak with an average of 6 Mbps and uplink throughput of 5 Mbps peak with an average of 1.2 Mbps in typical WiMAX networks. The MC100W is designed to be securely attached to compatible CradlePoint routers to create an embedded solution. Unlike standard USB or ExpressCard modem sticks, the internal WiMAX module cannot be used in laptops or personal computers. As a result, the modem is not a theft target for unauthorized uses. As carriers begin to offer custom M2M metered data plans, this solution enables carriers and customers to utilize those data plans in remote, lights out locations without fear of unauthorized usage or data plan abuse. The MC100W's rigorous system validation testing ensures that the solution will provide durable connectivity and the best performance results possible for in building locations, fringe locations and other areas of low signal strength.
