APC by Schneider Electric Modem/Wireless Router NDR3000

Solution OverviewAdd reliable and high-speed back-up connectivity to any Meraki MX series router with an LTE solution from APC and Accelerated. Upon loss of the primary WAN connection, fail-over to cellular is seamless. Consumer-grade USB modems provide only limited reliability, serviceability and control. Thus they are not considered to be a true business class solution for customers who's business depends on network availability.Why WAN fail-over?You wouldn't think of deploying a critical router or server without the added protection of a UPS, so why would you rely on a single wired internet connection? Consider these facts: 99.5% is the typical availability of a cable/DSL internet connection. That equates to over 4 hours of downtime a month! Adding a secondary wired connection can be expensive and may be susceptible to the same issues, such as a cable cut. Deploying 4G LTE is fast, easy for new or existing installations and affordable with data plans that may be tailored for almost any budget. Dedicated router verses a USB modem? USB (stick) modems may be cheaper but a dedicate fail-over router offers the following advantages. Fail-over time: almost immediate verses minutes with a USB modem. Reliability of signal and bandwidth. Routers are POE ready allowing them to be mounted at optimum locations for signal strength. In addition they are CAT 6 (LTE Advanced) so they have the throughput to support enterprise applications. Security upgrades: are supported remotely. USB modems upgrades are not available via the Meraki Cloud Manager so they require costly on site support visits. Data Monitoring and Management: USB modems do not have alerts or data consumption control. Managing data usage in fail-over mode is an important consideration. Out-of-band management: Use secure SMS or a dedicated USB port to manage devices in the LAN even when the wired WAN is down. Enterprise Ready Ideal for SMB/SMEs that need uninterrupted network access and the managed service providers who serve them. Lower cost alternative to MPLS or POTs secondary connections Enterprise-class reliability and security (PCI 3.0 compliant) Centralized Remote Management Accelerated View provides a centralized portal to monitor and remotely control routers. The powerful and intuitive interface allows for easy customization. Device status and alerts can be sent to designated email addresses. All VPN gateway connections use an IPSEC tunnel with AES 256 encryption The portal resides in a certified data center (SOC1/SOC2/PCI-DSS and HIPAA)
