In today's rapidly evolving Enterprise IT landscape, Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN) are at the forefront of digital transformation. Robustel, a global leader in industrial IoT and M2M solutions manufactures advanced 5G routers that provide reliable, secure, and high-performance connectivity. These devices enable Enterprises to seamlessly integrate 4G/5G cellular connections more cost-effectively and efficiently than ever before.
The Role of SD-WAN in Enterprise IT
SD-WAN is revolutionizing enterprise networking by offering:
Enhanced Application Performance: SD-WAN intelligently routes traffic based on application requirements, ensuring optimal performance for business-critical workloads.
Cost-Efficiency: It reduces dependency on expensive MPLS links by utilizing a mix of broadband, 4G LTE, and now, 5G connections.
Centralized Management: Simplifies network configuration and monitoring across geographically dispersed locations.
Robustel’s role in the SD-WAN evolution
The reasons for choosing Robustel rather than other vendors for this piece of the jigsaw are as follows:
Cost: Many of the mainstream 5G offerings are expensive. This can force the Capex on a high volume rollout up to an unworkable level. By using Robustel’s low cost 5G routers/modems the business case is much easier to prove.
Reliability: Most hardware is reliable. The hardware is rarely the problem in a 4G/5G connection. The majority of challenges come from RF signal levels. Robustel’s unique “Smart Roaming” technology allows you to choose the BEST and fastest network.
Robust Security Posture: Robustel’s Operating System is regularly penetration tested to check for vulnerabilities by “Bulletproof Cyber Ltd” – one of the UK’s leading Cybersecurity companies.
Installation Flexibility: POE is a key feature of Robustel’s 5G devices to make locating the device in an optimal location as easy as possible. An outdoor enclosure option furthers this flexibility.
Exceptional Monitoring platform: Many devices in the same price range as Robustel have very basic or no management platform creating a black hole in your SD-WAN network management. Robustel’s “RCMS” Azure-based cloud platform is exceptional with an extensive free tier & API interface.
