Overview
Verizon Wireless offers four 3G/4G data services to connect remote sites to enterprise private networks:
●
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) price plan with Internet access and dynamic IP: This service enables a router to
connect users or devices to the Internet or an enterprise network (through a customer premises equipment
(CPE)-based VPN such as IP Security [IPsec], generic routing encapsulation [GRE], Dynamic Multipoint
VPN [DMVPN], etc.).
●
M2M price plan with Internet access with static IP: This service offers the same services as the previous
one, except the 3G/4G interface of each router receives a consistent predetermined 3G or 4G IP address.
●
Mobile Private Network (MPN): This service enables a router to connect to an enterprise network. It requires
a customer premises-based VPN or Network Address Translation (NAT) for users behind the remote router
to access the network.
●
Mobile Private Network (MPN) with Dynamic Mobile Network Routing (DMNR): This service enables a
router to connect users to an enterprise private network without the need for customer premises-based
VPN. Traffic does not traverse the Internet. Dynamic routing allows changing of local and remote IP
addresses without coordination with Verizon. It can be used with any Cisco VPN option, including Group
Encrypted Transport VPN.
This planning guide outlines the process and timelines to order and plan for MPN services. Relevant
documents are also referenced.
1. Determine what type of pilot or test will be done, and order the appropriate service.
a. If testing or deploying MPN, DMNR is required (unless you plan a premises-based overlay tunnel VPN).
MPN with DMNR is always recommended. There are two scenarios for private networks:
i.
You already have a Verizon MPN:
1. If your Mobile Private Network is enabled for Long Term Evolution (LTE) and DMNR with LTE,
proceed to step ii.
2. If your Mobile Private Network does not support LTE or DMNR with LTE, then a Verizon Wireless
representative must submit a Verizon Home Agent Portal (VHAP) request to have the Mobile
Private Network upgraded for LTE and DMNR on LTE. The time between the private network
work order and customer turn-up is normally at least 3 weeks. A Verizon Wireless representative
should be consulted for the specifics. Once MPN is set up, new lines can be added in a few days.

ii. Your organization does not yet have a Verizon Mobile Private Network:
1. The Verizon Wireless representative submits a request for Implementation of a Mobile Private
Network (with 4G and DMNR options); the process is found within InfoManager (internal Verizon
system). The time between the private network work order and customer turn-up is normally at
least 3 weeks. A Verizon Wireless representative should be consulted for the specifics.

least 3 weeks. A Verizon Wireless representative should be consulted for the specifics.
2. Ensure the router is a Cisco Integrated Services Router Generation 2 or 4000 series, so it supports the LTE
enhanced high-speed WAN interface card (eHWIC, for 1900, 2900, 3900 series), the LTE Network Interface
Module (NIM, for Cisco 4000 series), the LTE GRWIC (CGR-2010), or an 8x9 series with embedded LTE.
There are multiple sources for these:
a. Use an existing ISR.
b. Acquire a new ISR.
c. Borrow an ISR G2 from the Verizon Vienna Demo Depot pool (an internal link is available to the Verizon
field team):
