Quick History of SD-WAN
SD-WAN – 2017’s hottest trend in networking Allows traffic to be routed over the best available circuit
Conditions the traffic to run smoother over a single circuit
Can split traffic on two paths, reassembling the content on the other end
Utilizes all available internet speeds when communicating between branches
Makes an effective failover device when 2+ circuits are installed
Wireless and SD-WANWireless is an effective circuit to add to an SD-WAN circuit
Failover: Wireless is the only network diverse and route diverse circuit
available to most businesses
Second circuit availability
SD-WAN’s load balancing and channel bonding requires two circuits to be
effective.
Wireless is in many cases only realistic fast second internet circuit available vs
slow aging DSL
Traditional Wired Failover Topology
FaaST Failover Topology
Wireless Quality Measures Haven’t Changed
USB modems have small gain antennas
USB handoffs are inherently slower and offer fewer options for traffic control
Industry standard networking often calls for Ethernet handoff for many
applications
USB modems do not offer signal strength readings or signal quality data
USB modems are cheap, flimsy, and tracked onto the side of a device often
breaking, becoming dislodged, or simply failing due to low initial quality
Wireless Quality Measures Haven’t Changed
USB modems are much more likely to NOT pick up LTE-Advanced signal and
run on slower single band LTE
USB modems cannot carrier switch on site like routers can
USB modems have no onboard processors
USB modem reporting portals are crude or non existent showing device
status, traffic passed, and troubleshooting and update capabilities.
A high quality SD-WAN solutions should have high quality wireless solution
