Trade Show Router Solutions, ARC MBR1400 or COR IBR600 Series
With summer approaching more trade show events are coming and Internet connectivity is a necessity for vendors. If you intend to operate a POS (Point of sale) system, or provide WiFi connectivity for employees you have a few options for Internet connectivity. Most venues offer T-1 service or WiFi connectivity, however, vendors are finding venues charging upwards of $1,000 a day for Internet connectivity that is often slow and unstable. With Verizon's 4G LTE network now available in over 200 markets, many are switching to cellular to save money and receive faster more reliable Internet connectivity.  (Left - ARC MBR1400): This is where the ARC MBR1400
comes into play as an enterprise grade all in one solution to provide
you with Internet connectivity. Unlike traditional Cradlepoint routers
that use a standard 3G/4G USB modem
the ARC series has an integrated sim slot allowing you to simply insert
your Verizon simcard for service. The modem cap then bolts directly
onto the MBR1400 for a secure fit making it easy to transport to new
events. The modem cap also features two 5dBi cellular antennas giving you enhanced wireless reliability and a 10-15% performance jump over stand alone USB modems. The antennas are also detachable if you'd like to add a higher gain antenna, 3G direct connect amplifier or 4G direct connect amplifier. The SMA connector is high quality allowing you to easily attach and remove an external antenna without the fear of breaking your antenna port like consumer grade 3G/4G modems. Typical WiFi range is about 300-400' in real world applications and is designed to support up to 128 users! WiFi as WAN functionality allows you to easily grab nearby WiFi to offset data usage if available, or load balance a WiFi connection from your smartphone, if you've got the mobile hotspot feature enabled. You also have the ability to replace the standard 2.4Ghz WiFi antennas with a 5Ghz WiFi antenna set to avoid wireless interference.  (Right - COR IBR600LE): The Cradlepoint IBR600LE
solution is ideal for trade show vendors that have limited space and
don't require the WiFi range of the ARC MBR1400. The small form factor
(3.3" x 4" x 0.9") makes the COR series ideal as a briefcase solution to
provide Internet connectivity on the go. In fact, you can easily pair
the COR or ARC series with the Tekkeon MP3450i R3battery pack for up to 12 hours! This allows you to get setup without worrying about finding an outlet to power the router. Just like the ARC series the COR IBR600 offers an integrated sim slot with high gain 5dBi cellular antennas for enhanced cellular reception. WiFi range on the COR IBR series is around 100-150' in real world testing making it perfect for smaller venues. The rugged design and mounting bracket also makes it easy to incorporate directly into your trade show booth. Both the ARC and COR IBR series feature IPSec VPN connectivity if you require a secure connection back to your corporate office. This allows you easily send or receive important information that you don't want others to be able to intercept. Advanced health check features ensure that you maintain a reliable connection to the cellular network and are designed for 24/7 Internet connectivity. Conclusion: Both the ARC and COR IBR series make it easier than ever to provide both Ethernet and WiFi connectivity for multiple devices. Without the need for a specific USB modem you don't have to worry about finding a compatible modem. Simply insert your activated Verizon sim into the units and turn the power on! The SMA cellular side antennas and detachable WiFi antennas give you more diversity allowing you to easily swap out components for different deployments. The ARC and COR IBR series will help ensure your trade show booth goes off without a hitch, and you can stay connected to what is important to you.
