New 3G and 2G data service offerings are increasing the use of
cellular technology for a wide range of networking applications
such as wireless back-up, primary access, and cell site management.
The W1100 Wireless WAN Gateway provides reliable access to
wireless data services for businesses and carriers. This cost effective
solution is designed for easy setup and operation with an intuitive
Graphical User Interface (GUI).

The wireless WAN interface is provided through a standard PCMCIA
card installed in and managed by the W1100 and supports the
newest 3G services. The Ethernet LAN interface provides standard
connectivity to routers and other LAN equipment, allowing use of
existing equipment.

To protect the network from outside intrusion, the W1100 contains
a Stateful Packet Inspection firewall to identify and block attacks.
The W1100 includes a Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliance for
encryption, enabling secure access across the cellular network.

With cellular data services becoming less expensive and more
accessible, there are many potential application uses. For businesses,
applications such as retail, brokerages, and other financial-based
businesses require the flow of information in real time. The business
ceases to function when the network is unavailable. The W1100 is
practical as a back-up to mission critical networking applications.
It supports applications when the primary network fails, and the
speeds are better than other options, such as a modem or ISDN line.
The W1100 can also be used for primary access as a wireless router
or as a pass-through device to an existing router. With inexpensive
data plans and accessibility from almost anywhere, the W1100
enables mobile or temporary work locations to obtain network
access easily, even when a wireline option isn’t feasible.

Wireless carriers need to continually have access to and manage
cell sites, ideally remotely. The W1100 improves cell site network
performance and reliability through remote access for management
over the cellular network. If a cell site goes down, a technician
can log in from anywhere to begin diagnostics and reporting. This
improves performance and technician efficiency, ultimately reducing
carrier costs.
