Description
The CradlePoint AER 2100 is the first in a new generation of cloud-managed 4G networking solutions that helps enterprises increase bandwidth and achieve five-nines reliability in a secure, flexible, and open architecture platform. As a cloud-managed solution, the CradlePoint AER is designed for the distributed enterprise to intelligently manage wired and 4G wireless connectivity for a more reliable “connected experience” at the edge. Network administrators can extend applications and services to remote branches with a solution that is customizable through the real-time deployment of cloud-enabled services, applications, and analytics. This all-in-one solution combined with CradlePoint’s Enterprise Class Support is defining a new standard for networking in the distributed enterprise.
A CradlePoint MC400 integrated 4G LTE modem comes standard with the AER 2100. Add a second integrated MC400 modem for a complete “cut-the-wire” 4G LTE solution, fusing enterprise reliability with unparalleled agility.
