This chapter describes the Sierra Wireless AirLink ES450 device, including a description
of ALEOS
®
embedded software and the AirLink Management Service (ALMS) device
management platform.
Introduction
The Sierra Wireless ES450 enterprise gateways deliver mission-critical 4G LTE
connectivity when primary landline connections are unavailable. When deployed with an
enterprise router, the ES450 gateway supports a best-in-class business continuity
strategy by enabling out-of-band management (OOBM) capability to network operations
while leveraging the router's instant failover, routing, and firewall features.
You can also configure the ES450 to send its management data via the DSL/cable
gateway using reliable static route protocol to reduce wireless network costs.
Additional benefits to this enterprise-class business continuity solution include:
•
Improved Internet uptime to keep your branches, kiosks, and retail operations online
•
Seamless failover for continuous uptime of mission-critical applications
•
High speed LTE network, faster than xDSL
•
Reduced field visits for network equipment resets and updates
•
ALEOS and ACEmanager web-based configuration that makes it quick to deploy
•
AirLink Management Service cloud-based device management application that works
in parallel with your network management systems to manage the wireless system
•
ALEOS reliable connection software ensures that the ES450 stays connected to the
wireless network
•
Better SLAs (Service Level Agreements) offered from the Network Operation Centers
as a result of the wireless backup offered by ES450 gateways
