D-Link has risen to the challenge of providing enterprise quality internet connectivity in locations where ADSL is not available with its DWR-921 4G LTE router. The router is ideal in rural areas where ADSL broadband is either not achievable or is slow, or in areas where ADSL may not be stable. These include outdoor events, construction sites or even buses or boats and can offer users potential speeds of up to 100 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload.

The DWR-921 enables users to access and share their 4G LTE or 3G mobile broadband connections. Once connected, they can transfer data, stream media and send SMS messages. Users simply insert a SIM/USIM card and share the 4G LTE or 3G Internet connection through a secure wireless network or any of the four Ethernet ports.

Andrew Mulholland, Head of Business Solutions, D-Link UK&I, commented, “If users are based in a location where broadband is an issue but 3G/4G connectivity is available, then this is an ideal solution to provide them with the connectivity they require. It can also be used as a backup for businesses in case of ADSL downtime to ensure they can remain productive. Furthermore, it’s a great solution for construction sites where they need quick and easy access to the internet but can’t implement ADSL.”

The DWR-921 utilises dual-active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential unwanted intrusions, while WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption keeps wireless networks secure and traffic safe. Dual-band 4G LTE and 3G support allows automatic 3G connection if or when the 4G LTE signal strength becomes low, whereas the additional xDSL/FTTH Ethernet WAN option gives fail-safe connectivity if either fixed line or mobile broadband fails.
