It is stable and scalable and the technical support is very good
Pros and Cons
- "The program is very stable."
What is most valuable?
I use this solution because I work for a Cisco partner. We use a lot of Cisco products and it makes it easy for us to position this wireless solution for most of our clients because they already have a Cisco base. It is very easy to propose it as an alternative.

For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cisco Wireless WAN for over five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?

What other advice do I have?
If I were to give advice to others, I would say is this: I haven't had much experience with any other option. Or if you were asking me to recommend this solution over another one, I'll generally recommend the Cisco Wireless WAN, because that's the only one I know and have experience of. I would like to see better pricing. It would also be great if one of these wireless cards could support multiple service providers. On a scale from one to ten, I will rate this solution an eight.

Best support for high speeds, once we got through the module compatibility issues.
Valuable Features:
1.One of the reasons we selected this WWAN modem is the underlying support for all the high speed modules and speed which is higher than 100Mbps.
2.Can be used to easily setup a high speed ISP or mobile network
3.Another deciding factor was the support for large number of devices that can interoperate easily with Cisco WWAN card
4. Failover support. There is a secondary link which can take over in case the primary goes down.
5.It provides transparent handoff support for devices which are using older technologies.
6.Provides higher bandwidth to support high definition video calls.
7.Supports advanced features like quality of service (QoS)
Room for Improvement:
While deploying the module, we had to struggle with the telemetry system server setup as it had some module compatibility issues with tracking system
Other Advice:
Cisco LTE WWAN provides an easy way to setup an high speed, robust and secure network with speeds of 100Mbps and above. It supports a large number of network devices and can easily integrate with devices running on older technologies as well. We tested the HD video call feature as well and found it to be of very good in terms of video, voice quality and overall speed. We faced some module compatibility issues with Cisco WWAN while setting up the telemetry system server setup. Overall a good product and provides large number of features for providing high speed network.

IPv4 4G WWAN Module
Valuable Features:
This product is fulfilling our technological requirements to setup a high speed 4G environment in a large ISP / Mobile network. Easily manage and configure in existing network without any changes. This module provides automatic secondary link whenever the main link is down.
Room for Improvement:
When I tried to setup in Cisco ASA 5500 series IPv6 network then I faced a module compatibility issue. Cisco will remove this obstacle in future. It is not possible to setup a GPS tracking system and telemetry system server with this module.
