Cradlepoint Routers, Great improvment and proven reliablity
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilize these devices in a couple of aspects.
1. They are mobile devices to give us internet access to create or "duplicate" our Dispatch center at basically any location. Provides phone and Internet for access to software applications utilized for EMS dispatch.
2. Mobile internet devices for access in emergency service vehicles.
Pros
- Provide Internet Access.
- Ability to Control and configure remotely.
- Dependable cellular coverage and access.
Cons
- Could be more cost effective.
- I actually like most of what they have for configuration remotely and templates.
- UI and finding some settings online, could be a but more user friendly.
Likelihood to Recommend
It has worked great for our emergency vehicles and mobile remote dispatch stations. We did have them at other bases as secondary internet access in the event of failure of our fiber, but I have found that is not as useful as we thought it may have been. I have temporarily disabled cellular on those devices and just did not have the need for it.
