Redundant Connectivity

Automatic WAN Fail-Over & Backup
Let Proxicast's LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router keep communications up and running when your primary Internet service fails. Any of the LAN-Cell's 3 WAN interfaces (wired Ethernet, 3G cellular modem, serial) can be designated as primary, with the others serving as redundant back-up communication paths.

Fail-over to the back-up interfaces and recovery to the primary WAN interface is automatic. For example, many customers use a 3G broadband cellular PC-Card in the LAN-Cell 2 as a backup in the event that their wired Internet service fails. Some even add an external satellite modem to provide emergency communications if wired and cellular services are down during natural disasters.

High Availability Communications
The LAN-Cell 2's high availability features go beyond just WAN interface fail-over. The integrated VPN client & server include high availability capabilities to allow the LAN-Cell to automatically make VPN connections to alternate end-points if your primary VPN concentrator is down. The LAN-Cell's Dynamic DNS feature also enables you to use a single DDNS hostname for the remote LAN-Cell regardless of which WAN interface is active.

The LAN-Cell also includes a unique feature called "Traffic Redirect" that can re-route WAN traffic to an alternate router/gateway on the LAN, if none of the LAN-Cell's WAN interfaces are available. This provides yet another pathway to ensure that outbound traffic is sent to any available WAN connection.

Make the LAN-Cell 2 3G router the cornerstone of your communications disaster plan.
