Mobile Router

The ConnectNet Mobile Router is the ideal solution to connect remote IP applications to corporate networks or to the Internet utilising the wireless GSM data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) networks. The mobile router is capable of maintaining a permanent connection, alternatively it can establish a connection to a remote destination on demand (dial-on-demand). This means that a remote Ethernet network can be accessed from any location provided that the location has data coverage by any of the GSM networks.The ConnectNet Mobile Router is locally designed and manufactured. The Router is issued with 2 SIMs and the router will automatically switch between these 2 SIMs in the event that the router is unable to maintain connection with the servers. This process is totally transparent to the end user.Advanced FeaturesSecure hosting facilities at Verizon and MTN NS. Private APNs to Vodacom and MTN. Integrated Firewall. Supports Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). May be set up to back up other IP Links such as ADSL. Dynamic Naming Services (DNS) capable. Port forwarding also possible. ManagementA connection is established and maintained to a Connectnet server. Regular polls from the router record data usage and signal strength. Network switchovers are also logged. The router monitors the radio connection to the GSM operator tower as well as the IP connectivity to the server. Failure of either will cause the mobile router to switch to the alternate network. Switch back will occur within 30 minutes once the primary network has been restored. The mobile router may be configured to raise alarms to the user via SMS and/or email in the event of network failure or switch-over. Full remote access to the router, irrespective of which network it is connected to. This enables complete remote management of the router. Logs can also be examined on the router to determine causes of problems. Remote software upgrades using FTP. Data usage is monitored and thresholds are set per router.
