Gateway communication for IoT activities is our primary use case. We were looking for a stable mobility solution.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Solution Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Provides us with secure 3G/4G LTE WAN cellular and wireless LAN connectivity for mobile environments
Pros and Cons
- "The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."
- "I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It provides us with highly secure, reliable, and easy-to-manage 3G/4G LTE WAN cellular and wireless LAN connectivity for mobile environments.
It has delivered high-speed secure VPN services with High Availability, strong firewall protection, Application Visibility and Control, and more. This AMI runs Cisco IOS XE technology features (ASR 1000 and ISR 4000 series) and uses AWS instances with a direct I/O path for higher and consistent performance, as well as 2x performance with IMIX packets.
What is most valuable?
The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions. It is also:
- easily and rapidly deployed
- highly available
- highly secure
- reliable.
Also, in terms of integration and configuration of the product in our AWS environment, it has 1700/2100 MHz (Band 4 AWS) frequencies.
What needs improvement?
Cisco should improve on the operation due to a clock signal component failure. I would also like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality.
