We're using VerizonWireless CradlePoints, Fortigate 80C firewalls, and Digi CM32's for our OOB solution. There were a few times when VerizonWireless went down, but at those times we did not have the emergency need to be on the OOB network.
It's a simple setup and not too costly. We got the CM32s on eBay for $50/ea, not too bad. We also have one site with a 2500 and octal cables, which is rock solid. Lately I've been getting a lot of SPAM for 3rd party OOB management solutions. So there seem to be plenty of alternatives to a good OOB setup.

Old school for small deployments. We have toyed with the idea of trying to obtain OOB access via 3G/4G instead of using a dialup modem. Has anyone tried that and if so, what hardware would you recommend? -----Original Message----- From: Nick Pope [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2014 2:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: out of band management gear Thinklogical Sentinel is great.
