Lighthouse Enhance
This premium subscription includes all the features of the Core, plus access to additional advanced capabilities like Smart Management Fabric™ (SMF) and the Connected Resource Gateway (CRG).
Lighthouse Enhance assists network engineers, system administrators, and IT infrastructure teams by streamlining operations of the out of band management network and IT infrastructure.
Lighthouse Enhance enables infrastructure management with automated deployment and seamless oversight of the management network. It ensures operational resilience by maintaining connectivity to your management LAN, even if the primary network connection goes down, using cellular failover – when a cellular-enabled device is in use.

Time and Cost Savings: LSP simplifies the provisioning of Opengear appliances at scale, reducing the time and effort required during initial setup and minimizing the need for manual intervention.
Improved Scalability: As your IT deployments grow, LSP provides a scalable zero-touch provisioning solution that accelerates setup without increasing administrative overhead, ensuring your equipment is ready for use faster.
Secure Deployments: Config files contain sensitive information, and using USB sticks with third-party engineers can be risky. With LSP, you get an end-to-end secure deployment process that keeps your critical data safe.
Lighthouse Core
Lighthouse Core is designed to deliver essential functionality for organizations that require reliable and secure serial network access with a straightforward approach. This foundational subscription offers simplified management, centralized control, and secure remote access.
Lighthouse Core simplifies management of the Opengear solution and provides the ability to jump to a serial connected network device. It starts with an intuitive dashboard that provides visibility and inventory for Opengear appliances and serial connected resources, as well as interconnectivity details. Users can authenticate, based on RBAC permissions, and gain real-time access to manage, configure, troubleshoot, or monitor serial-connected network infrastructure. This eliminates the need for manual, repetitive, and error-prone methods– spreadsheets, individual logging, password management, etc.
