Marine visitors – please see the update on the “Cradlepoint MBR 3G/4G” tab at the top left of this page.
I/We get a lot of calls regarding 4G Routers especially since I have been in the front of the pack as far as selling and supporting Ericsson W25 and W35 products. (See the Marine 4G LTE Alliance tab as well) Ericsson had come out with a 4G product (complete with videos on YouTube) that seem to be “Vaporware” for mere mortals trying to get them. The latest word I got today was that Ericsson was getting out of the “Ericsson branded routers” business and those L13 and L21 products were being discontinued anyway.
So it’s getting difficult to find a 3G and 4G capable router that can be installed in marine vessels … and pretty much impossible to find one with the Analog Phone Jack that those Ericsson products had. But setting aside the phone jack issue for now … we have a line of products with 3G and 4G LTE built-in. Similar to before you have to pick a model depending on who your US cellular carrier is. AT&T for LTE and fall-back to HSPA+ / Edge / GPRS (GSM Technology), or Verizon for LTE and fall back to EVDO / 1X (EVDO Technology, and also Sprint (details on request.)

BOISE, Idaho–September 12, 2012– CradlePoint, a leader in 4G/3G wireless networking for the distributed enterprise, today announced the CradlePoint ARC and COR series solutions for AT&T’s LTE and HSPA+ networks.
“With the emergence of 4G LTE at speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G, and eight times faster than T-1 lines, enterprises are turning to wireless connections and the cloud to better manage their operational and transactional applications,” said George Mulhern, CEO and Chairman of the Board of CradlePoint. “The availability of CradlePoint devices on AT&T’s network will help us meet the growing demand we’ve seen for our wireless network solutions over the last year both domestically and internationally.”
(Alan Spicer says “Ditto” I wish I had said that. But I will say … and please don’t forget the Working Boat and Charter/Leisure (Yacht) Boat Marine Industry who have been asking for 4G for quite awhile now!)
