Cradlepoint Routers, Great improvment and proven reliablity
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.

Cradlepoint Routers has been much easier for configuration and reliability and dependability. I have been using these types of devices for about 17 years, even back to old pinpoint modems. I am in the Emergency Services industry and utilize these for GPS and tracking to internet and cellular coverage for multiple locations. Mobile Wi-Fi hot spots are necessary (multiple) and the Cradlepoint Routers do this all very well and work non-stop.
Provide Wi-Fi and GPS services. Again in the Emergency Services industry and rely on this for multiple applications including patient care, crew safety, and vehicle location. We several years ago transitioned to the Cradlepoint Routers from Sierra Wireless devices that were pretty old. These devices have proven to be much more stable and easier to configure and apply templates to.

I have an IT staff of 3 of us that provide support for these devices in addition to my vendor. They do not take much work or troubleshooting or fixing once initial setup and configuration. I have been very happy with the Cradlepoint Routers. have them set to restart once daily on the overnight as we are a 24/7 service. Very minimal issues with these devices. I would highly recommend them.

Cradle points disappoint.
Our organization is an MSP that has partnered with a large healthcare provider to stand up a mobile medical unit to assist patients all over the country. We purchased a few of the cradle point devices to install in the units with a full network cabinet, in addition, to building out a full HIPAA secured mobile workstation.
- Better than other solutions for integration with full network cabinet.
- Better build quality that others.
- External antenna connector.
- Throughput was not great compared to similar solutions with same sim cards.
- Paid management portal.
- Overly complicated setup mainly due to the paid management portal.
- Rugged build quality.
- Failover capability.
- External antenna.
- For the price I don't think it effectively "wow'd" the client.
- Throughput caused our network service to not be fully utilized.
We have used Verizon partners for hotspots as well Inseego and jetpacks Mainly... We decided to take a chance with cradle point as they have 2 sim slots with failover as well as high build quality and external antenna As I have mentioned a few times already we had some issues with performance and with such a steep price tag and paid management portal which we would probably not move forward with these again.

- Provide the connection for the construction office
- No wires across the construction site
- No worries about losing the connection because cellular uptime
- It just did what we needed it to do very well
Did not try any others
