Thanks to all of you who took the time to Like my Page – https://www.facebook.com/AlanSpicerMarineTelecom/?ref=br_rs&__xt__=31.%5B1013530132%2C%22intro_card%22%2C%7B%7D%5D.

Please pass along to your friends. I provide Internet Solutions primarily for Marine – but also other markets like Land – Mobile and Fixed Business. I provide 4G LTE Advanced and WiFi (Dual Band) Routers and Complete Systems. Newer routers like COR IBR 900 provide Catagory 6 3GPP Release 10, aka LTE Advanced, and WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Wave 2 WFi) as well as Gigabit Ethernet … along with the Router Throughput to handle gigabit. Newer WiFI Systems provide Dual Band in 1 antenna in small profile same as Single Band earlier … and larger systems that can support MIMO with 2 antennas per band (2.4 and 5 Ghz.) I also handle Internet Connecting Switching and Load Balancing routers – and some of the 4G LTE-A Routers have this capability built-in. If you know anyone needing these kind of systems, or you do, please let me know. No system is too small or too big. I often come in an map out and document existing systems and tune them up for best performance and ease of use. Thanks again !!!!

Cradlepoint NetCloud Engine … Have your own private “Cloud” Network … connect Cradlepoint Routers, but also other devices, smart phones, and computers.

Fueled by Software

Introducing your next WAN—software-defined, delivered as a service, and designed with security in mind for today’s connected enterprise.

NetCloud Engine enables IT and network teams to deploy cloud-based networks in minutes to connect distributed people, places and things anywhere. Our NetCloud Engine platform is fueled by network and service virtualization software and powered by cloud infrastructure—providing Internet reach with private network security and control, and LAN simplicity and mesh connectivity. Now you can make the public Internet your private network without giving up visibility, security and control.

Delivered as a service, everywhere.

Connect & Protect People, Places & Things Anywhere

Remote access from anywhere

Cradlepoint helps IT organizations maintain their sanity and budgets while addressing the growing need for remote access from anywhere. Whether keeping up with the demands of your remote and mobile workforce, connecting new remote offices, providing isolated access for contractors, or deploying a temporary network for a construction site or sales meeting, Cradlepoint NetCloud Engine makes it easy.

With Cradlepoint NetCloud Engine, you can build a virtual overlay network to give groups of remote users segmented access to files and applications—whether in the data center or public cloud. Provide users with a seamless LAN experience while eliminating the hardware and headaches of a traditional VPN. Through the admin web console, you can provision users and devices in just a few clicks, and delete them just as fast.

From a security perspective, NetCloud Engine combines strong end-to-end encryption, auto-PKI and machine authentication with a fully cloaked private address space and micro-segmentation capabilities to offer the security of a private network over the public Internet.

Features:

• Support for all modern devices: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android
• Automatic user and device level ACLs
• Multi-factor authentication: user (ID), device (token) and certificate (PKI)
• Encryption: AES 256-bit encryption, no configuration

Benefits:

• Network virtualization enables new security model for cloud and mobile
• Scale connectivity when and where you need it
• Virtual overlay network, works with existing infrastructure
• No hardware upgrades, scalable and always up-to-date

Enterprise mobility, extend MDM

NetCloud Engine is designed to address the unique challenges associated with providing secure access to critical files and applications from mobile devices, including Windows, Android and Apple iOS phones and tablets.

Unlike traditional VPNs, you can deploy a virtual overlay network and segregate mobile users and the specific servers they need access to—whether in the data center or public cloud—from everything else. This “quarantine” approach ensures that mobile devices are contained and mobile users cannot access unauthorized resources on data center or office LANs.

Enterprise mobility requires enterprise security. NetCloud Engine extends MDM by providing micro-segmentation capabilities and a fully cloaked private address space with outbound-only connections to eliminate the risk of exposing public IP addresses or inbound firewall ports.

Features:

• Supports Windows, Android and iOS tablets and phones
• Network virtualization and micro-segmentation enables quarantining of mobile devices
• End-to-end encryption with device and X.509 certificate (PKI) authentication
• Works with MDM and popular mobile apps for file and desktop access

Benefits:

• Superior mobile security without the complexity of traditional VPNs
• Scale mobile access when and where you need it
• Virtual overlay network, works with existing infrastructure
• No head-end hardware, scale without forklift upgrades

I’ve said this before, but many marinas and yards now have 5 Ghz WiFi. 2.4 Ghz is the more common one used by users and can be more congested and slow down at some locations. 5 Ghz has more radio frequency space and is less used and can give you a speed boost.

Dual Band Marine Wifi – Now Available in the same form factor as Link-2 and Link-5 but both bands in one system.

Complete Package with cable and antenna. Power-over-Ethernet for easier cable routing. No need to pull a fat coax cable.

B/G/N on 2.4 Ghz and A/N on 5 Ghz.

500 mW Power Output …

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.
