Hello
I am looking for a CPE product that can use the 4G and soon 5G cell network as backup to our fiber. The product should create a VPN back to our network, so the customer can keep his IPv4/IPv6 address and all other services running as normal except maybe at a lower speed.
I imagine this CPE router could use BGP to announce itself through both the fiber and the cell backup.
Are somebody doing this and what can you recommend?
Thanks
Baldur
There’s probably a dozen ways to do this, and a couple times that with regard to devices.
What I’m doing at home is a plain old Cisco router from my old lab with a couple 4G Cradlepoint modems. I load share across all paths (1 x DSL, & 2 x att 4G).
Unless you have a requirement to backhaul the backup path over the 4G, then I would avoid doing that for performance reasons.
Hi,
you can take a look at Lancom CPE devices. They support BGP, have an
internal mobile modem + external antenna connectors. I converted a few
external sites to such a connectivity model already (IPv4).
The FortiGate 30E-3G4G could also be worth looking into.
