New Sierra Wireless’ APN from USAT
Faster Application Deployment and Enhanced Security with Cloud-Based Device Management
USAT has long been a preferred value-added seller of Sierra Wireless’ cutting-edge devices for managed connectivity solutions for your business. Offering such solutions as always-on connectivity for your business-critical customer applications and network management solutions for distributed enterprises, if you require a reliable internet connection for your business to thrive, USAT and Sierra Wireless have the answer.
We were delighted when Sierra Wireless informed us that they would be launching a new private access point name (APN) solution with simple staging that will help our customers vastly accelerate application deployments.
With Sierra Wireless Smart Connect, their new ultra-private and secure APN, you will no longer be required to manually configure for multiple SKUs on your network’s edge. Additionally, you can build devices with a single APN that can be transformed into numerous private APN’s within Sierra Wireless’ core network.
This second feature will drastically shorten the onboarding of devices and applications for companies with branches or subsidiaries that have different requirements.
As Ross Gray, VP of Product Connectivity Services at Sierra Wireless explains, “Private APNs are a fairly standard feature in connectivity services. Our solution allows devices to be constructed with a single APN, enabling them to be translated into multiple APNs on Sierra’s core network. You can now make all your configurations in the cloud without ever having to touch a single device!”
This solution delivers nothing short of a revolution in private APN technology. Customers can now construct their own truly global SKU, along with cloud configuration that will allow them to isolate a single device or SIM fleet to satisfy local regulations or advance a specific application solution in real-time.
With Sierra Wireless’ private APN, businesses can make policy and device application changes instantaneously without having to manually reconfigure a single module.
Zero-touch APN configuration streamlines the process of activating private APNs by allowing you to directly do so over the Sierra cloud. With traditional APN, you had to configure each individual module or device, which was a time-consuming and costly process. But with Sierra Wireless’ cloud-based APN, you can configure devices with separate, private APNs instantly.
Significantly shortening the time it takes to deploy your new applications is reason enough to be excited by Sierra Wireless’ new APN technology. But many industry verticals will also benefit from the complete independence of the Sierra Core, which is less prone to errors in making reconfigurations compared to traditional APN.
Devices Ready to Connect to Sierra Core from USAT
Sierra Wireless’ routers, gateways, antennas, and modems from USAT come with embedded SIMs that offer instant and immediate access to the Sierra Core. When you purchase a Sierra Wireless AirLink Router, for example, you gain easy and secure access to all the features of our partner’s cloud-based APN configuration abilities.
Buying ready-to-connect devices helps your business develop an integrated and tightly-controlled ecosystem that makes managing your connectivity requirements, onboarding new devices, and accelerating new application deployments, as easy as flipping a switch.
Purchasing pre-provisioned devices makes sense as it lowers the total cost of ownership and gives you the flexibility, reliability, and simplicity you need to manage your network devices.
