Features and Benefits:
Key Software Capabilities
Cradlepoint NetCloud Service provides powerful centralized management for every Cradlepoint cellular-enabled router, including the R500-PLTE. NetCloud Service allows customers to build and manage wireless WANs with complete lifecycle management, zero-touch deployment, robust security, and traffic management for optimal application performance and reliability. The cloud capabilities include group policy definition, reports, troubleshooting, and analytics dashboards. The service includes a warranty for as long as the router has an active subscription, online training, live and online support, and software and firmware updates.
Cloud Services
NetCloud Manager delivers zero-touch deployment with the ability to define and deliver policy across entire groups of endpoints. Users can gain insights and analytics required for rapid troubleshooting and diagnostic workflows. Location services provides last known map location and geofence alerting for loss prevention and physical security.
Advanced Software Lifecycle Management
NetCloud improves the typical software lifecycle management process. New features are continuously delivered to the NetCloud Service and available for the router without interrupting network performance. Software versions are tracked for every endpoint, with the latest version just a click away. Straightforward subscription and license management is provided to keep the network running without interruption.
