Cradlepoint Temporary Network Solution
Provides temporary network connectivity to pop-up services that is secure, easy to deploy, and can be monitored and managed anywhere without the cost of provisioning another wired line and without the security risks of shared network access.
Cradlepoint’s Temporary Network solutions allow companies to:
#1. Have on-demand LTE access at the ready Instantly set up flexible, secure WAN connectivity and cast Wi-Fi on the spot through plug-and-play LTE routers — without sending IT professionals on-site.
#2. Ensure predictable costs, no matter the site Standardizes organization’s temporary connectivity costs — relying on one or two network operators instead of a different wired ISP in every town.
#3. Take comprehensive network security anywhere Centrally control security and protect all types of data through one branch networking solution — including a firewall, easy VPN setup, content filtering, and IPS/IDS.
Temporary, pop-up networks are ideal for:
- Temporary command centers
- Healthcare surge tents
- Election polling places
- Seasonal storefronts
- Tax preparation services
- Mobile PoS
- Curbside pickup
- Booths at large events
Why are Temporary Networks necessary?
Pop-up stores require immediate network connectivity at a temporary location or for a short period of time.
Temporary Network Positioning
Cradlepoint Temporary Network solutions allow enterprises to scale faster by removing speed-to-deployment and flexibility barriers. Allowing for network management, and troubleshooting without a truck roll, creating operational efficiencies and containing IT resources for IoT initiatives, providing extra data and short term need connectivity.

What are some challenges a business may face that Cradlepoint can solve?
- Have more complexity and vulnerability than ever before
- vulnerable to attacks
- short term/long term loss
- damage to reputation
What is a way to boost retail network at WAN edge?
leverage a separate router to move a specific application — such as digital signage or customer Wi-Fi — off the enterprise network and onto a completely separate parallel, air-gapped network dedicated to that application.
How does Air-Gapped Networking Improve Network Security?
Air-gapped networking breaks up the access a hacker can gain if security mechanisms fail. If an unauthorized user is somehow able to access a digital signage network, for example, they will not be able to access other areas — as could happen if they were to access the main enterprise network.
CP Air-Gapped Network Solutions
provides a simple solution, which physically separates applications so they’re hosted on their own air-gapped networks. This is used to separate non-critical data and applications from the corporate network, and especially the point of sale
CP Air-Gapped Network Positioning Benefits
Air-gapped networks ensure that hackers can’t use vulnerable applications to pivot to sensitive data, while also simplifying network management and local regulations, such as PCI compliance.
CP Air-Gapped Network Services
- Intelligently reduces complexity and installation time, allows for streamlined policy management and group configurations, and provides cloud management of networks at geographically distributed locations
- Enables enterprises to set up quick air-gapped connectivity of people, places, and things with secure remote access
- Includes insights for business intelligence
- Delivered as a subscription and includes network management, continuous software updates, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24x7) enterprise support, a limited lifetime warranty, and on-demand training

How does a Network failover/fallback work?
During a network failover, standby equipment and connections automatically take over when the main network connection fails.
As organizations use an increasing number of cloud-based services in their daily operations, automatic failover and uninterrupted network access are essential aspects of remote and branch networking.
Increasing the diversity of network components and connection types helps reduce the impact of any single point of failure
How do you resolve a network failover?
By adding wireless network connections to branch locations is a flexible and cost-effective method of improving uptime, application performance, and business continuity.
How do you achieve resilience and continuity in a network?
For resilience and continuity, two devices, each with a different type of WAN connection is the way to go. Modern cellular Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and fifth generation (5G) wireless data links add both backup and diversity to the network, further reducing any single point of failure.
What is the benefit of using LTE & 5G?
These high-bandwidth wireless connections can carry just mission-critical traffic or the full branch network load, depending on needs and budget.
Wireless connections can also provide an alternative line into the branch for network and IT operations, enabling remote management and troubleshooting of branch equipment
How do LTE and 5G enhance network failover and redundancy for business continuity?
An enterprise needs to be proactive about network failover. It is no longer enough to solely rely on wired lines for backup connectivity and redundancy. Today availability, reliability, and bandwidth are the three mandatory capabilities for any network failover solution
Why is Branch Continuity necessary?
The loss of internet in a business means a loss of revenue. Failover solutions provide a means to maintain a connection in the event of service outage. Companies are moving towards having less on-site IT support at branch locations to resolve network outages.
Branch Continuity Positioning
Cradlepoint business continuity solutions ensure always-on high performance connectivity without the traditionally high cost associated with wired back up connections.
There is a high risk of disruption of two wires, so the diversity of cellular is important.
Cellular overlay failover solutions support virtually any existing network architecture enabling greater Return on Investment (ROI) in cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
They also provide the lowest total cost of ownership by virtually eliminating the need for on-site IT support to manage the solution.
