Overview of 3G Connectivity on SRX Series Services Gateways
The SRX210 Services Gateway has a built-in 3G ExpressCard slot (wireless modem
card). You can use the 3G ExpressCard sold through Juniper Networks for wireless data
connectivity to 3G networks.
Support for the 3G ExpressCard extends the already rich set of WAN connectivity
options available on the SRX210 Services Gateway. The SRX210 Services Gateway
supports a wireless interface as a backup for primary interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet
and Fast Ethernet. You can also use the 3G interface as the primary interface.
3G Connectivity on GSM and CDMA Expresscards
Juniper Networks supports 3G ExpressCards that you can insert into the ExpressCard
slot in the SRX210 Services Gateway. When the services gateway is equipped with a 3G
ExpressCard and used in a branch office, the device can provide dial-out services to PC
users and forward IP traffic to the service provider's cellular network.
Juniper Networks supports the following 3G ExpressCards:
Sierra Wireless AirCard Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) ExpressCard
