You've already decided a single ISP line isn't cutting it. The question now is whether you want to keep renewing the management plan year by year or lock in three years and stop thinking about it.
The Cradlepoint E100 handles the hardware side. Built-in 5G NR and Cat 19 LTE (or Cat 7 LTE) give your branch a cellular uplink independent of the fibre in the wall. Five GbE Ethernet ports, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and four SMA connectors for external antennas. The firewall pushes 850 Mbps with 20 concurrent VPN tunnels, so corporate apps stay reachable even when the local internet wobbles.
SD-WAN steering sorts traffic priority automatically. NetCloud handles policy, status, reporting and remote troubleshooting from wherever you're sitting. Zero-touch deployment means the box arrives pre-configured – a staff member powers it up, finds the best signal path, and the branch is connected.
This bundle includes the three-year NetCloud Essentials Plan. That's cloud management, online training, live and online support, and all software and firmware updates covered for the full term. No mid-contract renewal call to make.
Optional battery backup rides through a short power dip. Industrial plastic housing, 0 °C to 40 °C operating range. Sits on a shelf; no rack mount required
