High Availability and Network Resilience
The M500 is a feature-rich industrial-class router coupled with robust network processing and Multi-WAN connectivity, purpose-built for network resilience and business continuity. The platform supports dual SIM and dual LTE radios for carrier redundancy or load balancing between carriers’ networks. In the event of a connectivity failure of the primary WAN interface, traffic is automatically redirected to the secondary WAN interface. The M500 will also fall back when the primary interface connection is restored. This functionality operates regardless of whether the primary connection is LTE or a wired connection such as fibre, cable or DSL. Load balancing and traffic prioritisation mechanisms can be enabled to enhance failover performance and maximise bandwidth utilisation for critical application delivery.

Carrier-grade Wireless LAN
The M500 integrates an 802.11n access point supporting data rates of up to 300Mbps. Security functionality includes: WEP 64/128, WPA(PSK), WPA2(PSK), Mixed WPA/WPA2(PSK), SSID broadcast disable, Wireless MAC address filtering and SSID with Client Isolation to enhance the level of transmission security and access control over the Wireless LAN. Allows for Wi-Fi Hotspot functionality anywhere there is a cellular signal. The captive portal enables highly secure connectivity with multiple authentication options and extensive controls for access and bandwidth management.
