Cellular and Portable WAN Bonding Router (Portabella)

COST EFFECTIVE PORTABLE INTERNET ACCESS

Portabella – Peered Mode

When peered with Virtual Leased Line appliance, Portabella provides uplink and downlink bonding for any protocol between a mobile location and the head office via bonding multiple cellular wireless Internet access cards for increased performance and reliability. Portabella aggregates the capacity of as many as eight USB based cellular data cards providing increased access bandwidth in both uplink and downlink directions for the communication link to the head office.

Portabella – Standalone Mode

When not peered with Virtual Leased Line appliance, all HTTP downlink sessions use the aggregated bandwidth of the combined Internet access links, even in the case of a single HTTP session. For non-HTTP downlink sessions and all uplink sessions, Portabella provides session-based intelligent load balancing across the access links in standalone mode.

Features and Benefits

Downlink/uplink bonding in peered mode

Portable Internet access is achieved via 3G bonding. Portabella bonds Internet access lines (3G bonding / 4G bonding) for all types of traffic (including encrypted traffic such as VPN) for aggregated downlink and uplink capacity when peered over the Internet with Truffle Server device located at the headquarter office or data center. For single office setups optional Broadband Bonding Service subscription enables downlink/uplink bonding without requiring any BBNA devices at the headquarter office or data center.

Link failure recovery and link failover

In case of Internet access line failures, the PortaBella keeps the ongoing sessions alive by retransmitting the lost packets over the available access lines, even for the sessions in progress, without loss of data integrity. Additionally automatic failover protects against failures of one or more access link outages. This provides the most reliable portable Internet access.

DNS load balancing for inbound requests

PortaBella BBNA can be easily configured to provide Dynamic DNS load-balancing for inbound requests for internally hosted servers such as web-server, ftp-server, mail-server etc.

Additional features

DHCP server (can be turned off), state-full firewall (can be turned off), port forwarding, DMZ, UPnP support and others

Aggregated downlink capacity in standalone mode

When not peered with another BBNA device, all HTTP downlink sessions use the aggregated bandwidth of the combined Internet access links, even in the case of a single HTTP session. For non-HTTP downlink sessions and all uplink sessions, PortaBella provides session-based intelligent load balancing across the access links in standalone mode

Advanced QoS algorithms

All traffic routed through the PortaBella is intelligently managed to prioritize real-time traffic. Additionally a unique set of proprietary algorithms are implemented to improve real-time traffic latency metrics. For uplink streaming video applications, please check out our video product line.

Transparent installation

The existing Local Area Network does not require any changes. No coordination, new equipment or software is needed from the Internet Service Provider(s). A remotely accessible browser-based management interface provides quick and easy configuration and system monitoring.
