In the end, we\u2019ve built something made with outstanding quality and with more features than most routers that are anywhere near the price point we will be able to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of the many features of the m106 Router, some of the key differentiators are its internal battery that will take over if external power is not available for up to eight hours; both WAN and LAN ethernet ports; IP passthrough mode; a cloud management portal with remote monitoring capabilities of the device; a pair of premium Panorama-4G\/LTE Paddle antennas; inline failover capabilities; an included wall mount bracket; and a USB port that can output a charge to other devices.<\/p>\n
A key motivation behind the device are the growing Business Internet (BI) offerings from Verizon. BI allows businesses to use the Verizon network as their primary internet service and requires a cellular connected router to facilitate the service for each customer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been a key player in BI \u2018Business Internet\u2019 since Verizon introduced it last year,\u201d said Pittman, \u201cAs we\u2019ve put thousands of routers into the BI program, use cases have become clear to us that require features not available on some entry-level routers. The m106 feature set solves for many of the needs that Verizon is positioning BI into.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the support side, CSG is backing up the device with included managed services and support for every Verizon BI customer who purchases the m106. \u201cWe are fully vested in every customer\u2019s success with this device,\u201d commented Pittman, \u201cSo it seemed natural to us to give six months of managed services with every sale. This support is with our own, US-based employees who will be here to hold the customer\u2019s hand through any questions they may have, assure that the device is set up properly for every unique use case, and even proactively monitor device status for the customer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, this is the CSG difference,\u201d concluded Pittman, \u201cWe\u2019re going to offer the best possible product backed by the best possible service in the industry. Our customers deserve it, Verizon customers deserve it, and, with the m106, we\u2019re going to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n
