Multi SIM 4G LTE Broadband Bonding Appliance

Current model configurations

Portabella 4000i family

The four-modem model is the primary configuration. Choose a two- or three-modem configuration when fewer cellular connections are needed.

Embedded modem configurations
Model	Modem count
Portabella 4000i	4 embedded 4G LTE modems
Portabella 3000i	3 embedded 4G LTE modems
Portabella 2000i	2 embedded 4G LTE modems

The hardware and performance specifications below describe the primary four-modem model unless a configuration is named. Contact sales to confirm the exact modem, carrier and service configuration. Compare current Portabella and Streamer models.

The Portabella 4000i family provides 4G LTE connectivity for mobile and remote networks. Portabella 4000i has four embedded cellular modems; Portabella 3000i and Portabella 2000i configurations have three and two embedded modems respectively. Modems can use the same or different carriers to improve available bandwidth and connection resilience.

Use standalone load balancing to distribute separate sessions across WAN links, or peer with a relay for packet-level bonding. For 5G, see the Portabella 4000i 5G family. Live video optimization is available through the optional Streamer software add-on.

PORTABELLA 4000i FEATURES

Downlink/Uplink Bonding in Peered Mode

Portabella bonds Internet access lines for all types of traffic (including encrypted traffic such as VPN) for aggregated downlink and uplink capacity when peered over the Internet with the optional Broadband Bonding Service. Bonding services are available for data, live video streaming, VoIP and other applications classes.

Elastic Static IP

A static IP in the cloud is provided as part of the optional Broadband Bonding Service and is mapped onto the Portabella. This means that static IP is available for services and inbound network access even during WAN outages, as long as at least one of the WAN links is up.

Load Balancing in Standalone Mode

In standalone mode, Portabella uses session-based load balancing to distribute separate sessions across the available WAN links. Each session uses one link; a single-session download does not combine the bandwidth of multiple links. For packet-level bonding of downlink and uplink traffic, peer the device with Mushroom Networks' Cloud Relay Service or a customer-hosted relay.

Self-healing WAN with Armor Tunnels

In peered mode, in case of Internet access line failures, the Portabella keeps the ongoing sessions alive by making real-time per-packet routing decisions, even for the sessions in progress, without loss of data integrity. Additionally automatic failover protects against failures of one or more WAN link outages.

Software Defined WAN Orchestration

Portabella’s Software Defined Networking architecture enables quick and easy implementation of sophisticated WAN orchestration algorithms that are application specific. Portabella provides real-time traffic & bandwidth management features based on traffic type and various network metrics, including latency, jitter, packet-loss and many other custom parameters.

Strong AES Encryption

Portabella bonding tunnels have built-in security option with AES 256 encryption.

Traffic Shaping, Monitoring & Alerts

Traffic can be monitored via performance graphs over seconds/minutes/hours/days/months. Various realtime and non-realtime traffic types can be filtered and shaped. SNMP or non-SNMP alerts provide in depth network visibility and intelligence.

Advanced QoS Algorithms & Armor Tunnels

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 low latency/jitter video applications, subscription to the video optimization module is required.

Dynamic DNS Load Balancing

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

Website Blocking and DNS Redirection

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

Transparent Zero-touch 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 accessable browser-based interface provides quick and easy management and system monitoring.

Built-in Firewall & Router

Portabella can be configured either in pass-through to function inline with the existing legacy firewalls/routers or, if preferred, can be installed as the primary firewall/router.

Virtual Interfaces with WAN & Traffic Management

Portabella supports virtual interfaces that have load-balancing and failover logic layered on top of the real physical WAN interfaces. Specific type of traffic can then be selectively filtered onto the virtual interface to take advantage of the load-balancing and failover capabilities of the virtual interface.
