CradlePoint Offers Newly Eligible E-rate Options
Several 4G LTE network products from Cradlepoint are now eligible for purchase using E-rate funding.
Cradlepoint
is a provider of software-defined 4G LTE network products. According to
the company, schools can use 4G LTE technology "as an overlay network
to cost-effectively complement, augment and extend existing primary
networks." Cradlepoint products that are now eligible under E-rate
funding include the AER3100 "network-in-a-box" solution, AER1600
all-in-one solution, COR IBR1100 for in-vehicle networks and COR IBR650
machine-to-machine (M2M) router.
The AER3100 series "network-in-a-box" solution is designed to be ideal for small schools and
libraries. It features cloud management, advanced security, 4G LTE
failover, high performance Wi-Fi and dual modem capabilities. It also
includes Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) compliant content
filtering.
The AER1600 series all-in-one solution is suitable for smaller classrooms,
auxiliary and testing facilities to manage converged wired and wireless
connectivity. As with the AER3100, it features cloud management,
advanced security, 4G LTE failover, high performance Wi-Fi and dual
modem capabilities, as well as CIPA-compliant content filtering.
The COR IBR1100
series is a compact, ruggedized 3G/4G/LTE device that is ideal for
in-vehicle networks such as bookmobiles. It features cloud management,
dual-band, dual-concurrent 801.22 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, ignition sensing
and CIPA-compliant content filtering. It has been ruggedized for
vibration, shock, dust, splash and humidity.
The COR IBR650 series M2M compact router offers network connectivity management for
locations with no wired network access, such as remote library kiosks.
Note that CIPA-compliant content filtering on these devices is not eligible under E-rate funding.
