WatchGuard® 3G Extend wireless bridge makes cellular connectivity easy and affordable through any Firebox X e-Series appliance – new or installed. It brings the Internet anywhere you need it, including remote areas and temporary work sites, without the need for cables, and it supports over 50 modem cards and ISP plan options for flexibility and convenience.

What Can WatchGuard® 3G Extend Do for Your Business?

Save money. Open new business opportunities. Keep remote and temporary operations securely connected to the main network. Protect network uptime. WatchGuard®3G Extend can deliver all these benefits for your business, with cellular connectivity that is affordable, flexible, and easy to deploy.

  • Remote Office ISP Connection
    For remote areas that lack access to anything better than POTS (plain old telephone service), cellular connection to the Internet is an attractive option. For a very small cost investment, you can use WatchGuard 3G Extend for business connections in these remote areas – for example, to do on-the-spot lookups on credit cards. It is also a convenient and flexible way to connect into main office resources from far-flung locations.
  • Mobile ISP Connection
    Transacting business with any kind of mobile operation, from a service van to a police car, requires mobile applications that can roam constantly. With no opportunity to connect a cable, radio technology is your only option. Proprietary radio band or satellite are costly, but WatchGuard 3G Extend provides the wireless connectivity these operations require and at substantial cost savings.
  • Kiosk or ATM ISP Connection
    Some of the most popular applications of 3G technology are found in retail. Companies that want to enable electronic payment using credit/debit cards for products or services from a machine located at a client's site need an ISP connection. WatchGuard 3G Extend is the perfect solution. You won't need cables to complete sales transactions, while providing customers convenience and security.
  • WAN Failover
    Looking for a better performance option on your WAN failover alternative? If you're using POTS for WAN failover, the slow performance will be costly in the event of failover. WatchGuard 3G Extend delivers better performance and provides an affordable backup to maximize network uptime.

How it works

Purchase the WatchGuard 3G Extend wireless bridge when you buy your WatchGuard security appliance – or buy the 3G Extend by itself as an upgrade for an existing WatchGuard appliance. Add a PCMCIA or express card format cellular modem (provided by your ISP when you sign up for service), follow the simple set-up instructions, and you're ready to go. It's that easy.
