SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/02/13 — Opengear (), a leading provider of next-generation and , today announced at Cloud Connect 2013 (#ccevent on Twitter) that it is launching built-in 4G LTE support for its to improve business continuity.
Opengear remote management gateways enable uninterrupted, secure remote monitoring, access and control over distributed networks and remote sites for companies including MSPs, distributed enterprises and ISPs. Through proactive monitoring, true out-of-band management and smart automated response capabilities, Opengear allow faults to be repaired remotely or automatically, reducing the need for expensive on-site technical visits and minimizing network downtime.
The new built-in 4G LTE standard ensures optimal high-speed, low latency out-of-band network performance. Latency of 4G LTE connections can be up to 20 times lower than 3G connections. When 4G networks are not available, Opengear 4G LTE products automatically fall back to 3G or even 2G mode. Cellular out-of-band allows users to monitor and access all of the devices at distributed sites more efficiently and reliably, even when behind firewalls or the primary network connection is impaired.
“With our integrated 4G LTE models, Opengear provides high performance, secure in-band and out-of-band access enabling remote configuration, monitoring and repair of all types of IT and networking equipment,” said Rick Stevenson, CEO of Opengear. “As our customers- networks become more geographically dispersed across data centers, edge networks and public and private clouds, remote management becomes a critical component for providing business continuity.”
