The power of Cradlepoint’s R1900 5G Ruggedised Router
Imagine you’re a contractor and when you start working on a new site, you’re unable to contact anyone, even in the event of an emergency? Or, how about being a member of the Armed Forces, deployed far away from home in the most remote of locations, with no way of being able to talk to your nearest and dearest? This happens more often than you’d think in so many sectors due to the number of sites that have (or should we say, had!) little to no coverage – even in today’s always-on and fully connected world.
UK Connect thrives on resolving these kinds of connectivity challenges, as we know just how much I.T. matters. A lack of connection in army bases, construction sites and other trade sectors can lead to periods of frustration, missed opportunities and workers feeling lonely and isolated – especially during tumultuous times and periods of high-pressure. To enable the UK’s most remote sites to get fully connected, we harness the power of Cradlepoint’s R1900 router.
The best connections from the most distant locations
Rugged enough to withstand the toughest of terrains and environments with operating temperatures ranging from -30 °C to 70 °C, this powerful router is designed to handle mobile 5G connectivity and edge computing while also offering Enterprise-Grade levels of reliability, functionality and security. Taking advantage of Wi-Fi 6 for the best possible connections, it includes an embedded 5G modem that can automatically connect to Cat 20 Long-Term Evolution (LTE) if the site is based outside of an area with 5G coverage.
These capabilities, along with the continually improving NetCloud platform, ensure the router has scope for future expansion and that it offers the best investment protection available. The R1900 router can also extend far beyond its deployment with additional PoE ports, GPIOs, NetCloud SDK and API, Bluetooth and a range of customisable solutions. The router is specially designed so that I.T. departments can enjoy access for remote management, troubleshooting and analytics.
Keeping connected on the go
While we install the ruggedised R1900 in Armed Forces bases, construction sites and many more developments, the router is also perfect for keeping moving vehicles, including emergency response units and police cars, connected while on the go. This is because it’s part of a NetCloud Mobile Performance Package that provides connectivity, network, security, location and Internet of Things (IoT) services to keep everything connected, wherever you are.
