Link Box

Field Connectivity Network Bonding Kit

The Link Box is a fully-integrated “Cellular & Network Bonding” kit that provides reliable, secure, and unbreakable connectivity in the field. This “standard” variant is designed for medium or large team connectivity in the field, as well as disaster response, executive communications, or part of a hybrid cellular/satellite solution. With embedded global cellular modems, global roaming SIM cards, and IATA airline carry-on compliant batteries, the Link Box will provide you with secure, unbreakable connectivity anywhere in the world.

Don’t rely on a single connection for your mission critical communications anymore. Load Balancing and Failover routers still rely on the bandwidth from a single connection at a time, whereas Network Bonding COMBINES the bandwidth into one connection. It’s time for a connectivity upgrade with the Link Box.

Network Bonding Service Options

Network Bonding works by splitting your data at the packet level and sending those packets over all available internet connections. A “Bonding Server” is required to reconstruct those packet back into their original form. This server can reside in our AWS cloud, on a customer virtual server, or as a physical router at a customer location.

Cloud Bonding Service – Included with the use of Transpondr Global SIM Cards / License required for third party SIMs. No additional hardware required and is provided “as-a-service.”

Physical Bonding Router – Placed at customer location. One device can support multiple bonding peers in the field as a hub and spoke VPN network. Router type and licenses determine the number of supported peers, which can be in the thousands.  

Virtual Bonding Appliance – Installed on customer server or VMWare. Licenses available for as few as 5 peers up to 1000+
