Reliable Cellular Connectivity

To address the client's challenges, the GL.iNet GL-XE3000 was deployed as a high-performance cellular backup router. This device is equipped with an industrial-grade cellular module that ensures stable, long-term operation, significantly reducing the risk of service interruptions. The router supports both 5G NSA and SA modes, delivering download speeds of up to 1 Gbps in real-world conditions, ensuring efficient data transfer even during peak usage.

Multi-WAN and IP Passthrough for Seamless Integration

The GL-XE3000's Multi-WAN feature enables simultaneous wired and cellular connections, prioritizing the wired network in Load-Balancing mode while using cellular data as a backup. If the wired connection fails, the router seamlessly switches to cellular, ensuring uninterrupted access. The IP Passthrough function allows the carrier-assigned public IP to pass directly to the main router, integrating the cellular router without changing existing routing policies or firewall settings.

Built-In Power Backup for Extended Uptime

Centralized Management via GL.iNet Cloud Platform

With the GL.iNet Cloud Platform, the client can manage all devices centrally. This platform provides real-time monitoring of each router’s status, including connectivity, data traffic usage, and signal strength. Network administrators can quickly identify and resolve any issues, minimizing the risk of prolonged network downtime.

Results

By deploying the GL.iNet GL-XE3000, the client secured a robust and reliable network backup solution. The seamless integration with their existing infrastructure, combined with the router’s high performance and centralized management capabilities, ensured that their business operations remained uninterrupted, even during unexpected network outages.
