Nieuw Vennep, Netherlands- May 06, 2026- Portwell, a leading global provider of industrial computing and networking hardware, together with Anvil Mobile Ltd, a specialist in SD-WAN and network virtualization technologies, today announced the availability of a fully integrated, portable connectivity platform designed for mission-critical and infrastructure-limited environments.
This joint solution combines industrial-grade hardware with software-defined networking intelligence, enabling organizations to deploy secure, high-performance connectivity at the network edge without reliance on fixed-line infrastructure.
Enabling the Shift to Edge-Native Networking
As enterprises increasingly operate in distributed and dynamic environments, the need for resilient, reliable, software-defined connectivity at the edge continues to grow.
“This collaboration integrates ruggedized hardware with advanced SD-WAN orchestration and multi-link bonding to create a highly resilient edge networking platform,” said John Butterfield, Director- Avnil Mobile Ltd.
“By intelligently aggregating and managing multiple network paths including cellular, WiFi, and satellite the solution ensures continuous uptime, dynamic traffic steering, and sub-second failover, even in degraded or unstable network conditions typical of mission-critical environments.”
Advanced Connectivity Through Multi-WAN and SD-WAN
The platform integrates:
- Multi-WAN / internet bonding, combining cellular (multi-SIM), WiFi, and satellite (including Starlink)
- SD-WAN orchestration, enabling dynamic traffic steering, failover, and load balancing
- Real-time performance analytics, delivering visibility and optimization across all links
- Zero-touch provisioning, allowing rapid deployment in field environments
Portable, Edge-Deployable Infrastructure
A key component of the solution is a portable mission-critical communications unit, integrating Starlink mini, bonding technology, SIM connectivity, and power supply into a ruggedized enclosure. The system supports both battery and mains power, enabling immediate deployment in remote, mobile, or emergency scenarios.
At the core of the hardware platform is the Portwell ANS-9122 Edge AIoT Network Appliance, featuring high-performance Intel® processor options, multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports for multi-WAN connectivity, and flexible expansion capabilities including SIM-based cellular modules and wireless interfaces. Its compact, rugged design ensures reliable operation in harsh and mobile environments, making it ideal for edge and mission-critical deployments.
Broad Industry Adoption
The solution is actively being deployed across multiple sectors, including:
- Retail- Temporary and resilient connectivity for E-POS and pop-up environments
- Logistics & Warehousing- Continuous connectivity for mobile assets and industrial IoT
- Construction & Energy- Reliable internet for remote and infrastructure-limited sites
- Defense & Emergency Response- Secure, mobile communications in critical operations
- Financial Services (Emerging Markets)- SD-WAN-enabled connectivity using bonded cellular networks
Availability: The solution is available now worldwide through Portwell and Anvil Mobile Ltd.
