Marine WiFi Systems are available in 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz, and Dual Band (both bands)

Both in the small (router/radio unit at antenna) remote power over Ethernet (run 1 cable for both Power and Network.), and Premium (MIMO dual antenna) Router – Radio Unit sits inside and Antennas are remote by Coax Cable. You can use 1 antenna topside and 1 smaller antenna inside. Or two topside antennas (2 coax cable runs.) Premium systems have more powerful router CPU systems…

Recently there has become available combined WiFi Dual Band + 4G LTE Cellular systems. I am just becoming aware of this so haven’t deployed one yet, but this comes from a 15 year long time WiFi Marine company.

With our sales comes pre-sales consulting, determine what you need and how it will be installed. Support with the installation as needed.

I have always primarily marketed Marine Vessels … but these 4G LTE products are designed for Business – Branches and Sites, and Mobile (land mobile) vehicles and Fleets. So please contact me if you have a need or a project for these.

With the new included Netcloud Management and Support it’s easier to get your branches and mobile fleets online on 4G LTE Advanced as primary or backup Internet Access.

COR IBR 1700 is designed for vehicle use. with Netcloud you can Manage and Maintain a fleet of vehicles from 1 logon to Netcloud.One pane of glass they call it.

Here it is again … https://blog.marinetelecom.net/new-cradlepoint-cor-ibr-1700-series-more-lte-band-wave-2-wifi-more-lan-ports/

AER 2200 is designed for business branches and sites and the same applies to it as far as being able to Manage and Maintain multiple branches and sites from one pane of glass, as mentioned above. Some sites are temporary or what they call Pop-Up stores. Some sites are remote offices or locale (location-based) offices. Stores and Retailers of all sizes have multiple locations. Most can operate on 4G LTE-A as Internet source … or 4G LTE-A with terrestrial Internet as backup or primary. These routers are designed to do this.

Here this one is again … https://blog.marinetelecom.net/new-cradlepoint-aer-2200-series-more-lte-bands-dual-modem-capable-9-lan-port-4-poe-wave-2-wifi/

The following are available as a Marine Pack package with Topside Antennas, Coax Cables, and Adaptors to do a full installation. These are 3gpp Release 11and I believe CAT 11 based on them saying 600 Mb/s built-in modems. Previously products were based on Release 10 CaT 6 modems. Also notice some additional LTE bands are included.

Routers we have sold in the past did not come with support from Cradlepoint. If you called them (if I called them) they would not help us … we had to sell CradleCare support agreements. Recently they have renamed that to Netcloud. It also includes Internet web browser based Management of 1 router or many routers.This makes it easy to manage and software update your routers. It provides 24/7 support. And now in 2018 they are bundling this with the routers. So time to embrace the cloud and get the free included support. 1 year Netcloud is included with the sale of the routers. You can buy more years upfront or later on.

Netcloud is Cloud Management and 24/7 Support. Cradlepoint doesn’t give support without an agreement, and with these new packages it’s included. You might not use the Cloud Management for a single vessel … but it’s a very nice way to check and configure and update your product. For Yacht Management Companies it can make it easy to manage 4G LTE-A systems on multiple yachts.

Make sure your web browsers get updated …

Why? Not what do I sell or what do I do … but Why?

You’ve got to believe in something. You’ve got to be ABOUT something.

So Why do I do this thing called Alan Spicer Marine Telecom?

I do THIS because I believe I can save marine vessels money on Internet Access. When compared to VSAT usually 3G – 4G Cellular Internet, and WiFi Hotspot, are less expensive (by far) and the Speeds are much faster. You like options and I like options for The Best and the Lowest Price. I.T. guys might call this “Least Cost Routing”. It means for a given location how many options for Internet do we have? And what’s the Best Option for this location? (And can our gear on board work with the best option?)

I do THIS because I believe I can make things Simpler and Easier to use for you Day To Day Internet management tasks. For this reason – How? What system has the best features for things working as automatically as possible? Who wants to have to have 2 routers to change major cellular carrier / provider? Who wants to have to have 2 routers to work in US and International locations? Who wants to have to Manually change Internet Sources whenever you move the boat or come in our out of the U.S.? You want the simplest – easiest system, so do I.

I do THIS because I have a passion for being FIRST … for being “Ahead of the Curve” as far as Internet Access Technologies and Internet Management Systems Capabilities. I strive to know what’s the Fastest and the Best and that is Vendor independent. I may sell and use multiple vendor brands but I want you to have The Best for you. For this reason I have fought many battles on our behalf (on your behalf and my behalf together.) I fight for the latest technologies and the fastest / best Internet speeds. Who wants 1 or 2 year old Technology? You don’t, I don’t. Who wants to have to replace equipment every year or two? You don’t, I don’t. We want the latest stuff and we want it to work and be the best for a few years at least.

A good friend of mine calls me the “I.T. Guy” or “The 1’s and 0’s Guy”. And I do have a passion for the technical details for the How of things are done. But I also have a passion for Fastest, Least Expensive, Easier – Simpler, and Ahead of  the Curve Latest and Best.

… That’s the WHY of Why I do this. The How and What has to follow the core principles above.

I don’t just sell equipment … especially without some knowledge and thought in the process. This stuff is generally not that kind of thing that you can just sell generically. That being said I can make packages with everything needed to install these systems.

I can also help you with adding to or designing your whole network system on marine vessels. On vehicles it’s a little easier because chances are this is the only device in your vehicle, providing WiFi to use it. On larger vehicles such as communications trucks you may have other infrastructure to connect to.

I generally give 30 days installation support (within reason) to get you going. Anything more involved a Consulting Arrangement will be used.

I have worked with all sorts of systems – VSAT = Cisco Routers – Kerio Firewall Router and more.

So don’t be upset if I ask a number of questions during the sale process. I need to make sure a system fits (coax cable lengths and such) and what your expectations are along with my recommendations.

Thanks Again!
