BACKUP/FAILOVER: 4G LTE AND 5G backup solutions ensure uninterrupted connectivity in case of primary network outages. It can be used as a failover solution for critical systems, allowing businesses to maintain essential operations and data connectivity when primary connections fail.

Enabling organizations to connect people, places & things.

MetTel designs and deploys wireless WAN technologies.

Providing connectivity in areas where wired connections are limited or unavailable, enables reliable and high-speed internet access for businesses and individuals. MetTel Managed Wireless WAN delivers quick-to-deploy, secure and flexible wireless cellular connectivity to branch offices, retail stores or temporary sites, virtually anywhere—all managed by MetTel network experts, removing the burden of ongoing management or upfront infrastructure costs—helping organizations save time and money. Specific capabilities include combining 4G LTE, Gigabit-Class 4G LTE and 5G in a single wireless WAN; supporting all 5G spectrums, interoperating with existing customer
SD-WAN and router infrastructures; and simplifying the entire network management lifecycle.

Wireless WAN Benefits:

MetTel works to design, deploy and provide ongoing management of Wireless WAN edge infrastructure, providing predictable monthly costs and savings with pooled carrier data plans. With MetTel’s SingleSIM, field services benefit from multi-carrier, global access.

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTIONS FOR BRANCH SITES:

Enterprise-grade 4G LTE and 5G and wired connection links converge in one easy-to-set up Software- Defined WAN solution (SD-WAN) providing a high-capacity network virtually anywhere.

ENTERPRISE CLASS SECURITY:

MetTel’s Managed Service delivers secure Internet access and protects on-site users and devices without backhauling as well as satisfying PCI-DSS Compliance credit card processing standards.

ZERO-TOUCH DEPLOYMENT:

MetTel Managed Services push out deployments quickly and at scale and manages those solutions without on-site IT professionals.

ROUTER REDUNDANCY:

If a primary router fails, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) enables a backup hardware solution to take over the primary routers work—with the LAN and WAN uninterrupted.

ALWAYS-ON CONNECTIVITY:

Best-in-class 4G LTE and 5G solutions with dual mode capabilities provide constant mobile network connectivity for organizations that depend on critical infrastructure to keep their business running. With MetTel’s SingleSIM, ensure your operations have signal anywhere in the world through intelligent roaming to 650 carriers in over 170 countries.

OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT:

MetTel remotely manages and troubleshoots network devices or systems using a separate, dedicated communication channel. We identify and remediate router problems remotely. And use 4G LTE and 5G for OOB for:

REMOTE/SECURE DEVICE ACCESS:

By using 4G LTE and 5G as the out-of-band channel, network administrators can establish a direct connection to devices, even if the primary network or Internet connection is down. This enables them to perform configuration changes, firmware updates, or troubleshooting without needing physical access to the device. It offers encryption and authentication capabilities, ensuring that the out-of-band management connection is secure and protected from unauthorized access.

NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING:

network administrators can remotely monitor the health and performance of network infrastructure devices, such as routers, switches, and firewalls. Through the out-of-band connection, administrators can access the device’s management interface, collect logs, perform diagnostics, and troubleshoot network issues in real-time, even if the primary network is experiencing connectivity problems.

EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY:

In the event of a primary network outage or failure, 4G LTE and 5G serves as a backup connection for critical systems and infrastructure. Network devices can be configured to automatically switch to the 4G LTE and 5G connection during such emergencies, ensuring continuous management and operation. Maintain network availability, prevent downtime, and reduce the impact of network failures.
