[Design Lab] Multi-cellular bonding for corporate access

Source: https://forum.peplink.com/t/multi-cellular-bonding-for-corporate-access/32190

Environment

• A Civil contracting company in the Oceania region.
• Established for 15 years.
• Focused capabilities include urban development, mining & resources, government projects and infrastructure.
• Currently they have multiple remote sites and are expanding.

Requirements

• Require usable Wi-Fi connectivity so their wireless equipment (printers etc) and staff can connect to the HQ.
• Multi-cellular connections are required to allow for high bandwidth applications.
• A strong robust HQ router to utilize their current 100/100 fibre link at the HQ.

Recommended Solution

• Deploy a Balance 310X at the HQ.
• This rugged enterprise grade router can combine multiple WAN’s into one connection to provide an unbreakable connection.
• Large sites would use the MAX HD4 quad cellular router.
• When bandwidth usage is high, the intelligent SpeedFusion technology can monitor and utilize up to 4 cellular links, providing a variety of connections.
• The featured captive portal can be used for per-user bandwidth control. This allows customization of bandwidth policies for different users such as internal or guests.
• Since Medium sites have less users, we would suggest a MAX HD2 to be deployed here.
• This device has 2 built in cellular LTE modems, allowing bandwidths to be bonded or used as a failover backup line.
• SpeedFusion Cloud can be used as an optional solution, should the client not wish to deploy a HQ router.
• This enables remote sites to run independently and still be able to utilize SpeedFusion technology for their cellular connections.
