The partnership is designed to bring flexible, proven 4G/LTE connectivity to critical infrastructure.
Emerson Network Power has announced a strategic partnership with Cradlepoint, the global leader in software-defined 4G LTE network solutions for enterprises, to provide 4G/LTE cellular solutions for wireless out-of-band access in conjunction with the Avocent® ACS6000 Advanced Console Server product line. The joint product solution is currently available in North America and Europe with limited availability in other regions.
The Avocent ACS6000 serial console server product line is an industry leader for secure out-of-band (OOB) access to IT infrastructure equipment, such as network switches, servers, storage and power distribution units (PDU’s), providing remote troubleshooting and management even when IP networks are down or have not even been provisioned. With product configurations to support connecting 4, 8, 16, 32 and 48 devices per appliance, the Avocent ACS6000 will primarily focus this partnered solution on the distributed and edge computing market segments. Key Cradlepoint feature offerings include GPS; dual-SIMs; Power-over-Ethernet; and most importantly, investment protection through software-defined radios, which may be reconfigured to meet future business needs.
