Introduction

The Sierra Wireless ES440 enterprise gateway delivers mission-
critical 4G LTE connectivity when primary landline connections are
unavailable. When deployed with an enterprise router, the ES440
supports a best-in-class business continuity strategy by enabling out-
of-band management (OOBM) capability to network operations while
leveraging the router's instant failover, routing, and firewall features.
You can also configure the ES440 to send its management data via
the DSL/cable gateway using reliable static route protocol to reduce
wireless network costs.
Additional benefits to this enterprise-class business continuity
solution include:
• Improved Internet uptime to keep your branches, kiosks, and
retail operations online
• Seamless failover for continuous uptime of mission critical appli-
cations
• High speed LTE network, faster than xDSL
• Reduced field visits for network equipment resets and updates
• ALEOS and ACEmanager web-based configuration that makes it
quick to deploy
• AirVantage Management Service cloud-based device
management application that works in parallel with your network
management systems to manage the wireless system
• ALEOS reliable connection software ensures that the ES440
stays connected to the wireless network
• Better SLAs (Service Level Agreements) offers from the Network
Operation Centers as a result of the wireless backup offered by
the ES440
