The Hercules Shield's dual SIM/carrier feature makes it ideal for fringe areas and high volume locations requiring high network availability or redundancy. Its two Ethernet ports allow it to provide multi-service support for auxiliary devices such as video toppers, or it can be configured for WAN Failover.

I recovered two ATMs plus $25,000 in vault cash thanks to DPL – and on top of that, the police caught and prosecuted the guys who were responsible.
