One of the key metrics of network performance is uptime—the percentage of time a company’s system is connected to a network or the Internet. Typically, when people look for the causes of the loss of connectivity, they usually think in terms of service interruptions: a physical line being cut or lightening striking a utility pole.
Cisco Live events were created to showcase the best and most innovative solutions in the networking world.
It's not just about the content of Cisco's presentations – the medium is the message. They have to provide a flawless networking experience. (Starbucks convention with bad coffee? Hewlett-Packard presentation with faded printouts?)
If there's one thing Saint Lawrence Gridiron owner and chef Brian Garrett knows how to do, it's how to cook up innovative, gourmet food from the back of a truck. Brian specializes in crafting a menu that changes frequently and follows very few rules with one exception: the food must pair well with bourbon and beer. You can find the big, orange Saint Lawrence Gridiron truck plying the streets of Boise, ID, dishing out delicious food to long lines of hungry patrons. This means they need to be ready to serve their customers and accept credit card payments no matter where they park the truck. To accomplish this, Brian uses a Cradlepoint 3G/4G wireless networking solution with a mobile USB modem to create a 4G hotspot that powers his connectivity needs. Now he can bring his truck to any event and not have to worry about turning customers away who didn't think to bring cash
This is the third and final part in a series about how the cloud impacts business:
Part 1: What is the Cloud?
Part 2: Benefits of the Cloud for Businesses
Part 3: The Cloud and Cradlepoint
We have a tradition of winning "bake-offs" against other routers: companies will pit the Cradlepoint COR against competitors' routers and expose them to extreme temperatures. The Cradlepoint devices always win. Our products have also consistently fared well in high temperature locations including Las Vegas and Phoenix for companies like YESCO.
While most focus in the tech sector these days centers in and around the cloud, people still need the networking solutions to get there. That's where Cradlepoint has found its niche. With our leadership position in the field of 3G/4G wireless technology, we've been able to provide businesses the solutions they're looking for to achieve their connectivity goals. This has fueled a tremendous amount of growth to meet the demands of an ever-evolving communication ecosystem, and Cradlepoint is rising to the challenge.

The RASC-AL Exploration Robo-Ops Competition, sponsored by NASA and organized by the National Institute of Aerospace, begins today. Multidisciplinary teams from universities around the country were tasked with building a planetary rover prototype that will attempt a series of competitive tasks at NASA Johnson Space Center’s Rock Yard in Houston. Teams submitted proposals last December, and the top eight were chosen to compete.
