CELLULAR ETHERNET GATEWAY
The AirLink Raven Ethernet is the perfect solution for networks, PCs, or any device requiring an Ethernet interface to high-speed cellular data networks. It’s interoperable with any standard Ethernet router or residential gateway, so no special cabling or equipment is required. The Raven-E is optimal for providing primary network connectivity or as a failover/backup option required for high reliability/availability applications. For more advanced network requirements, the Raven-E also provides an option for either public or private IP (NAT), GRE/IP-SEC pass-through, and SNMP management.

ALEOS TECHNOLOGY
As with all Raven Products, the Raven-E is powered by AirLink’s ALEOS technology – the longstanding industry benchmark for reliable and feature-rich embedded intelligence. With extensive capabilities like remote monitoring and configuration, packet-level diagnostics and over-the-air firmware updates, ALEOS simplifies installation, operation, and maintenance of any solution. ALEOS provides the “always-on” and “always-aware” connection management required for today’s mission-critical applications.

PROVEN RELIABILITY
For over a decade, AirLink Communications has been providing field proven, reliable solutions for cellular data networks, including applications for M2M, SCADA, Mobile Data, Public Safety, and more. The AirLink Raven-E is the next step in AirLink’s commitment to providing rugged, intelligent network connectivity.
