Networking Solutions: Cellular Routers and Gateways
AirLink® Cellular Routers & Gateways connect your remote organizational assets – people, locations and infrastructure – securely to the enterprise network, and allow you to remotely configure, deploy, monitor and manage these assets with cloud-based or on-premises management systems. AirLink routers and gateways are engineered to be deployed out-of-the-box without additional programming and have the intelligence to stay connected. Relied upon every day in remote outdoor locations, in-vehicle applications, and retail chains, Sierra Wireless solutions securely connect workforces, equipment, and services. For more than 20 years, Sierra's cellular gateways and routers have been delivering secure, manageable, high-performance cellular networking for mission-critical applications. Accelerate your deployment of new applications with secure connectivity, location-based services and remote management made possible by their 3G and 4G LTE cellular routers and gateway solutions. Compare Sierra Wireless products above, and see what applications you can use your devices with below.
Vehicle Networking
Many organizations rely on mobile workers that need access to the same tools available at the office. These tools need to be accessible anytime, anywhere – even for workers in vehicles, on the move and at remote or temporary work sites. With large mobile workforces, organizations can better manage operations by knowing the location and status of their mobile assets.
Enterprise Networking
In today’s distributed enterprise, organizations rely on a complex network that involves hundreds or thousands of regional locations, each connected to headquarters via a local Internet connection. This connectivity is “business-critical” and supports all sales and payment transactions.
Industrial Networking
Monitoring and managing remote infrastructure is challenging. It’s unmanned, it’s critical to business operations and often in remote areas where undetected problems can be deadly. Sierra Wireless AirLink® routers, gateways and management solutions provide reliable and secure connectivity designed for harsh and hazardous environments, giving operations and IT real-time awareness with remote monitoring.
