A CradlePoint is a router/switch that is primarily designed to use cellular 4G/3G data for Wide Area Network Access. It is frequently used in small business locaitons as a backup WAN connection. Before making an investment in a particular Cellular carrier, it makes sense to run a test with each of the major carriers (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) in the location where the signal is needed.
This little guy comes in a hardened carrying case (like a fat brief case). It contains 3 CradlePoint units. Each of which is outfitted with a different Celluar Provider's SIM card.
The laptop which is also contained in the case runs a script. This script tests the speed, the latency and signal strength of each carrier's signal relative to the locaiton.
Ideally, you'll want to have the test kit situated at the same altitude (6, 8, or 10 feet) where your intended equipment would be installed. I used a Ladder for this.
Good Information for CradlePoint. Cradlepoint provides wireless routers are a technology which performs all functions of a router and also provides us comfortable wireless facility.
