Aerea is the Sigfox operator in the Netherlands. It maintains Sigfox base stations all over the country to provide Internet access to the Sigfox IoT objects.

The Sigfox base stations connect to DSL, fibre or any kind of landline Internet that the national Internet service providers like KPN or Ziggo have available in the area to provide Internet access to the Sigfox IoT objects.

The problem is when KPN or Ziggo experiences landline Internet outage, all the Sigfox IoT objects will be disconnected because the Sigfox base stations no longer have Internet access.

Aerea needs a solution to maintain Internet connectivity for the Sigfox IoT objects when the KPN or Ziggo landline Internet fails.

Oklahoma’s Stillwater Police Department recently rolled out a fleet of patrol vehicles equipped to connect to the city’s Internal network via 4G LTE.

The consumer-grade networking gear used in the initial deployment wasn’t up to the task: a few months in, scorching summer heat began breaking down the devices. Stillwater Police needed a tougher option – and fast.

West Virginia University Robotics Team was to design and fabricate a sample collection Rover for the NASA Rasc-Al Robo-ops competition hosted at the NASA Johnson Space Center’s Rock Yard.

Before acquiring the Pepwave MAX HD2 system, they were using a pair of CradlePoint cellular modem/router combos that were bridged over a WiFi network. They positioned one of the CradlePoint routers at a stationary base station and affixed the other to the Rover.

This solution worked well untill the Rover lost line of sight to the base station. The Rover was sluggish due to the decreased bandwidth and increased latency.

They needed a more reliable and rebust solution.

Clinton National was using strictly an MPLS T1 network between 9 branch locations. No redundancy or ability to transfer large amounts of data to offsite locations. Large data transfer had to be done strictly by tapes manually transferred between locations.

Ever increasing costs of local loop Telco lines to attach from a branch into their MPLS cloud prompted Clinton National to look for alternative ways to make this connection. They also wanted a method for branch connectivity in the event the MPLS circuit went down, as well as replicate/transfer large amounts of data between data centres.
