How Rugged is Your Router?
We often discuss with our potential new customers about the durability of our devices. This is very understandable as connectivity reliability could easily be undermined by unreliable hardware. Some customers are keen to jump to conclusions that they need a more rugged version instead of the normal vehicle model and they each have their own […]
Is a National Roaming SIM an Option for Critical Broadband?
Goodmill specialises in Critical Broadband solutions. We advocate for multi-radio, multi-modem solutions such as our flagship w24h-S router. There are other candidate solutions in the marketplace and community, none of which we believe is optimal for professional & critical communications; but one of them we regard as not only sub-optimal, but wholly inadequate – National Roaming SIM cards. What is a […]
The Value of Multichannel Routers to Network Operators

The work has been fine-tuning the parameters and features of the solution to properly understand how the solution should really work. As you may have noticed, we finally decided it is as perfect as […]
6G Vision for Public Safety
We recently joined the 6G Flagship Ecosystem and you might be wondering why. 6G is far away. Most markets are only testing the preceding generation 5G solutions. Thus, there are very few concrete projects to run. Why did we want to be a part of the ecosystem? Working with networks, all kinds of connections and collaboration is […]
Is Goodmill an SD-WAN solution?
Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) has been one of the hottest topics in networking for a long time and it continues to be perhaps the second biggest topic and potential improvement in connectivity after 5G. We are quite often approached by customers with an initial question: “Can you do SD-WAN?” You might have guessed […]
Simply Adding a Second Network to Fill Coverage Gaps Won’t Fix Your Downtime Problems
By Ged Robinson, Regional Director, Goodmill Systems Everything we rely on will fail. Eventually. And sometimes This is a simple truth which we in the critical technology community don’t acknowledge enough. For us at Goodmill Systems this fact is our primary motivator. We know that when it comes to providing critical grade wireless broadband for […]
