Dear All
Can you advice me on selecting a Cisco product for the following application:
I need to connect to two devices at a remote site where there is only a weak 2G/3G mobile network signal available.
The devices is equipped with ethernet LAN communication. On my side I have a decent high speed internet connection.
So is there a mobile router with ethernet ports. The router ca be retrofitted with one or more high gain external antennas.
I will use the link to upload a file with a size of less than 50MB on a weekly basis. I may also have to download information to the site (run time firmware program) of less 5MB. It would be a bonus (not essential though) to have the ability to view real time information at the site (stuff like temp, wind & humidity data).
Will I require a VPN on this router? Please advice on these technical parts.
The devices already work well at the office LAN with a Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX.
I don't want to use one of those square 3G modems with the serial RS232 port. I don't have the ability and knowledge to setup and maintain a server.
I just want to connect to the devices as if I am right there, in the mountains 350 miles away; while I am actually sitting in the office...
Best regards,
Mel
