Out-of-Band Management
Reach your remote network devices, even when the network is down.
Our out-of-band management solution gives you independent 5G access to the console ports of your routers, switches, and firewalls at remote sites, without sending anyone on site.
The problem
When a remote site loses connectivity because of a failed update, a misconfiguration, or a provider outage, the usual access path is gone with it. Fixing it means a technician travelling to the site, often for a change that would take minutes remotely.
Typical uses
Branch offices
Keep remote offices reachable when their connection fails, without sending IT staff on site.
Industrial and production sites
Reach the network equipment in plants and remote facilities, even when the site’s main connection is down.
Retail stores
Restore connectivity across your store network from one place, instead of dispatching technicians store by store.
How it works
- Remote site
- Network device
- Serial console port
- 5G router
- Mobile network
- Mobile network
- Management platform
- RMS platform
- Authentication layer
- You
- Your engineers
Deploy a 5G router with serial ports at the remote site.
Connect its serial ports to the console ports of your network devices.
Reach those consoles through the RMS platform, over an encrypted mobile connection that is independent of your production network.
Sign in your way. Access runs through an authentication layer we operate, which integrates with your identity systems (for example single sign-on) and can be adapted to other integration requirements.
The hardware
- Router with one built-in serial port, expandable with a module of 4, 8, or 16 serial ports to match the number of devices at the site
- 5G connectivity with 2 physical SIM slots and 6 eSIM profiles
- Automatic failover between SIMs and carriers: one is active at a time, and the router switches if the connection is lost
Your choice of setup
- Connectivity
- Mobile data included in the service, or bring your own SIMs.
- Operations
- Fully managed by us, including monitoring and operations, or self-managed by your own team.
- Delivery
- We ship to sites almost anywhere in the world, subject to export regulations and local mobile network availability.
Security
Encrypted, proprietary communication
The router and the RMS platform communicate over an encrypted channel using the manufacturer’s own protocol.
Your identity, your rules
Users authenticate through our integration layer against your existing systems, so access follows the policies you already enforce.
Independent of your network
The management path does not rely on the network you are trying to repair.
Our hardware partner
Our solution is built on hardware and the Remote Management System (RMS) from Teltonika, a global leader in IoT technologies.
