  • Page 5: Introduction

    The CBR450 is a feature-rich business router in a small package. Built for secure applications that require absolutely no WiFi broadcast, such as for PCI or HIPAA compliance, you can rely on CradlePoint's advanced networking features like WiPipe Security, VPN Termination, and Failover/Failback (which protects your network in case the primary data service fails) to keep your business online.
  • Page 6 WiPipe Central 1.3.1 CradlePoint‘s cloud-based router management service allows for remote monitoring, configuration, and firmware updates of deployed routers like the CBR450. WiPipe Central drastically simplifies router administration for businesses using multiple routers. WiPipe Central can be purchased separately at http://cradlepoint.com/support/wipipe-central.
