Case Study: Saltwater-Recon.com achieves reliable, high-quality live beach video streaming with Cradlepoint NetCloud Service for IoT

Saltwater-Recon.com Uses Wireless Broadband to Give Beachgoers Real-Time View of Coastal Conditions at Famous Tourism Area

Saltwater-Recon.com operates high-definition, interactive webcams along the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay to give locals, tourists, media and agencies real-time coastal conditions, but many camera sites—like the 61st Street Fishing Pier—lack wired broadband and the pier’s wireless couldn’t support live streaming. To get reliable, low-latency connectivity and remote management for these remote locations, Saltwater-Recon.com selected Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Service for IoT delivered through LTE-enabled multi‑WAN routers.

Cradlepoint implemented cloud-managed LTE routers, NetCloud Manager for remote visibility and control, and NetCloud Perimeter (SD‑Perimeter) for device-to-cloud security, providing always‑available, secure WAN links that support high-quality live video from virtually any coast. The deployment eliminated dependence on limited pier networks, enabled remote reboots and troubleshooting to cut truck rolls and costs, and delivered a scalable platform Saltwater-Recon.com is using to expand streaming to additional piers.
