AI, IoT, and cloud computing are transforming how businesses operate.

• Scalable and adaptable infrastructure: Upgraded with 5G technology, the CM8100-10G-5G safeguards IT investments by providing a highly scalable and adaptable network resilience solution that evolves with the demands of leading-edge technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and IoT.

• Optimized network management: Connect and control up to 48 serial devices, simplify cabling, and reduce operational overhead — giving network teams greater visibility and control over critical infrastructure.

Patrick Quirk, president of Opengear, stated, "Business continuity can make or break a business. Including 5G technology in our CM8100-10G series represents a significant step in our promise to provide a network management solution that eliminates disruptions while enabling automatic failover to cellular for seamless access.
