// SD-WAN FEATURES

One edge box for unreliable internet.

Caged uses multiple WAN links as a single managed fabric, configured via a centralized Portal, then keeps policy execution close to the branch so failover, steering, and AI controls happen where traffic starts. Confirm hardware sizing, supported endpoints, and feature availability for your deployment with the team.

Bond every link

↗

Blend fiber, cable, fixed wireless, LTE, 5G, and satellite into one usable WAN pool with health checks, dynamic weighting, and application-aware failover.

multi-WAN link health monitoring

QoS automation

↗

Automatically configure link buffers across bonded WAN paths to manage queue buildup as traffic and link conditions change.

auto-tuned link buffers

Encrypted branch-to-branch mesh

↗

Site-to-site tunnels form on demand, then steer over the best WAN path for voice, point-of-sale, cloud access, and private application traffic.

// AI COMPATIBILITY

Cloud and local AI. One policy plane.

Cloud & local models
OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, Mistral AI, Cohere, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter. Configured local model endpoints share the same policy plane.
Client APIs
OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions and Responses when enabled, Anthropic Messages, and model discovery. Streaming and tool calling depend on the configured model and API format.
Access & budgets
Virtual API keys, model allow-lists, spend and request budgets, and request/token rate limits.
Privacy & audit
Configured PII detection, masking, and blocking for supported request content, with metadata audit and usage records. Coverage depends on the payload and policy.

These controls apply to supported API requests routed through Caged. Select the provider, model, and policy that fit your applications.

// PILOT PATH

Put one site on bonded WAN.

Start with a home office, branch, vehicle, or lab rack. Validate ISP bonding, portal policy, QoS automation, and AI traffic controls before expanding fleet-wide.

01
ship appliance

Place the desktop or rackmount unit at the target site and connect available WAN links.

02
claim in portal

Bind hardware to the tenant, assign the site, and verify live health telemetry.

03
push branch policy

Apply link steering, QoS, firewall, and AI gateway policy from one dashboard.
