Overall Satisfaction with Cradlepoint Routers
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.
Pros
- Better than other solutions for integration with full network cabinet.
- Better build quality that others.
- External antenna connector.
Cons
- 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.
