LCOS Release Candidate
10.94 RC1
eSIM integration and WireGuard
LCOS 10.94 marks the beginning of the next generation of mobile network management. The integrated eSIM technology in SD-WAN gateways replaces the use of physical SIM cards: Contracts can be digitally installed, changed, updated, and managed – without on-site intervention and without manual card handling. This saves time, reduces the effort involved in rollouts, and offers maximum flexibility, especially for companies with locations spread across different regions or countries. In addition, WireGuard support offers a modern, secure, and easy-to-set-up VPN solution that stands out for its high user-friendliness, especially in very small-scale scenarios.
Error-free software needs users who put it to the test. We cordially invite you to actively participate in our software development: Feel free to download the LCOS Release Candidate from our download portal and tell us about your experiences with it!
You can best share your feedback on the LCOS Release Candidate with us via the support portal. This portal is available to you as a LANCOM partner or as an end customer with a LANcare contract. We look forward to receiving your feedback.
Please note: A Release Candidate has been extensively tested by LANCOM and includes new LCOS features. It is suitable for testing and is not recommended for use in productive environments.
eSIM: The smart mobile communications solution built into the LANCOM router
With integrated eSIM technology, LANCOM SD-WAN gateways connect effortlessly to the mobile network. Instead of physical SIM cards that have to be managed and replaced manually, mobile contracts and profiles can be set up and managed digitally. The permanently installed eSIM (consumer version) is programmed via software with the provider’s profile. This makes it possible to upload, change, update, and manage contracts or tariffs quickly and easily – without time-consuming card replacements or costly on-site visits. New devices are ready for immediate use, and rollouts across multiple locations or large device fleets can be completed in no time. At the same time, security is enhanced, since there are no physical cards that could be lost or misused. Whether for mobile workplaces, branch networks, or as a backup solution, eSIM ensures simple management of mobile connectivity while providing maximum flexibility and efficiency.
WireGuard
WireGuard support provides a fast and flexible solution for secure VPN connections — ideal for small-scale networking scenarios such as home offices or businesses with only a few VPN tunnels. Thanks to its streamlined design and intuitive operation, this modern protocol offers a simple and reliable way to establish secure connections. Cutting-edge cryptographic algorithms ensure robust protection. In addition, WireGuard is supported on all major operating systems, making it an excellent choice for heterogeneous IT environments.
Before any LCOS update, be sure to backup your current device configuration. Devices featuring the "Firmsafe" function have the option of an initial "test mode" firmware upload. The new firmware is activated permanently only if the device has been accessed with a log-in or for configuration purposes before the pre-set time period has expired. Otherwise, the device switches back to its former version.
