The best way to utilize 5G for primary or secondary WAN connectivity is through a cellular router, or mobile router, that has a 5G and/or 4G LTE modem built into the device. Enterprise routers that have hybrid WAN capabilities can support wired and cellular connection links and also provide Wi-Fi for wireless LAN access. These enterprise routers are useful for the flexibility they provide, especially in branch sites such as stores, restaurants, and offices.

In areas where 5G is not yet fully usable, a enterprise router can use 4G LTE with great success, albeit less speed and bandwidth.

When choosing a cellular router, also called a mobile router, several key factors must be considered, based on your specific business needs. First, understanding the type of 5G spectrum is essential. Low-band 5G offers widespread coverage with lower speeds; mid-band strikes a balance between coverage and performance; and high-band 5G provides ultra-fast speeds for data-intensive applications, but with limited range. The location and nature of the deployment — whether for a fixed site, vehicle, or IoT — will determine which 5G spectrum layer is most appropriate.

In addition to spectrum, other important considerations include flexibility, management, scalability, and security. A good 5G router should offer the flexibility to be deployed in various locations, support easy management through cloud-based platforms, and enable quick expansion for growing organizations. Features such as VPNs, zero trust security, and network slicing should be easy to deploy. Each of these factors will help ensure that your cellular router for business is both efficient and secure for years to come.

An automotive router, or vehicle router uses 5G or 4G LTE to provide connectivity for whatever connected devices and applications an organization needs to use in its fleet vehicles, such as police cars, fire apparatuses, ambulances, ferries, public buses, and school buses. Maintaining connectivity anywhere on the road is crucial for enabling in-vehicle applications and real-time communication, as well as live video streaming in emergency scenarios.

A dual-modem automotive or vehicle router allows SIM cards from different carriers to be active at the same time. If one signal is degraded, the automotive router switches from one carrier to another automatically and instantly. These routers can accommodate cellular and satellite, too. Dual-modem automotive routers are vital for mission-critical communications as vehicles travel across highly disparate coverage areas.
