The Mako CMS gives you control over WAN failover patterns and behaviors for each of your sites. Mako devices that feature onboard cellular modules are typically configured to use a primary wired connection with a secondary cellular connection for reliable broadband Internet access. These cellular failover configurations keep your critical data flowing by automatically rerouting designated network traffic, including secure VPN traffic, to your cellular service whenever fixed-line services are down.

You also control the balance of cost and performance for each of your sites. Optional Fast Failover configurations deliver seamless connectivity that keeps stateful data, such as payments and live voice calls, connected through a failover event. More conservative failover configurations reduce costly cellular data usage.

Mako devices with onboard cellular use a commercial-grade cellular modem with one or two internal SIM slots, avoiding the pitfalls of external cellular modems that can be accidentally or maliciously disconnected. At locations where reliable wired broadband is not available, these Mako devices can be configured to operate solely on cellular connections.
