MRNET Alternative: How Speedify Provides Superior Bonding Solutions
Speedify is a software alternative to MRNET for enterprises that need several internet connections working as one. Reliable internet for business is mission-critical: when your enterprise depends on connectivity for operations, video conferencing, cloud applications, and real-time data transfers, connection failures can cost thousands of dollars per minute.
This reality has driven many organizations from various verticals, such as first responders, video streaming, IoT, retail, public transportation, and trade shows & events to explore solutions for combining internet connections, like MRNET and Speedify. Speedify adds the flexibility of a software solution that is hardware agnostic, instead of dedicated proprietary hardware only. Like any such solution, Speedify keeps a session up when one connection drops only when it has two or more internet connections; on a single connection it works as an encrypted VPN.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.

What MRNET Offers
MRNET provides internet bonding solutions that combine up to 6 independent internet sources, depending on the gateway model, into a single data stream using its proprietary cellular bonding gateway device. The internet bonding infrastructure is a patented MRNET public or private cloud internet bonding technology.
This can be managed through MRNET’s network management portal, where you can perform configuration changes remotely. MRNET’s proprietary hardware (cellular bonding gateways designed for different use cases) is required for the implementation across various enterprise environments.
Why Enterprises Consider Speedify as an Alternative to MRNET
Built for both consumers and enterprise environments, Speedify uses its technology for combining internet connections to split traffic per packet across every available connection, with automatic failover when one drops. Because Speedify is also a consumer app, a large user base reports problems and helps improve it.
Speedify’s hardware agnostic architecture is designed for deployment across diverse network environments. This approach can result in reduced implementation time and lower IT overhead compared to solutions like MRNET, which require their own proprietary hardware.

6 Differentiating Features of Speedify vs. MRNET
Hardware agnostic: you can run Speedify on any supported device and platform, including the major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android), as well as OpenWrt routers. No need for proprietary hardware.
Mobile and desktop clients: as an organization, you are not limited to using specific hardware devices, such as routers. Speedify can also be used directly on clients’ devices, such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.
Wi-Fi cellular sharing: Speedify enables users to share and combine 4G LTE and 5G cellular connections between multiple devices connected on the same network. This is Speedify’s cellular sharing feature, and every device involved runs Speedify.
No built-in limit on combined connections: Speedify combines as many internet connections as the device’s hardware can support, so enterprises are not held to a small number of internet sources.
Cost aware: enterprises can prioritize how each WAN connection is used with Speedify, including setting limits per connection.
Dynamically using multiple protocols: automatically switch between TCP, UDP and HTTPS to optimize speed and reliability depending on usage.
