Why we need use 4G m2m router?
What advantages does 4G m2m router owns? What benefits can 4g enterprise router bring to our life and M2M applications?
We
will look into some of cases that 4G m2m router might be
good solutions. We will also highlight some of the potential shortcomings of a
4G router for certain applications. Overall, we would like to dive deep into
the aspects that matter when choosing a 4G router. Now let’s begin:
With
all these base level factors in mind, let’s investigate what factors and
features you should consider in a 4G router:
1) Which affect you choose a 4g m2m router?
This
is perhaps the most important factor in determining the features you need to
look for in a 4G sim card router: how will you be using the 4G router? Is this
for a retail store as a backup on an existing primary wired connection (imagine
the backup Internet for a POS register)? Is the 4G router going to be used in a
specialty vehicle (imagine a police car with surveillance cameras)?
If
you are considering using a 4G router as a primary Internet connection for
every day usage in a residential environment, you are probably a year or two
early as the cost of the data has still not gotten to levels where you can
replace your wired Internet line with a 4G router. A 4G router should be
considered only when you have no other wired Internet options in your
house. For this type of simple setups, a 4G router that can house a single
wired WAN and a single 4G connection will be a good choice. We recommend 4G
router with built-in modems so that you can use an external antenna for best
coverage.
2) What type of environment will the 4G sim card router be used
in?
It
is important to have ruggedized 4G router in case you will be using the device
in harsh environments. Certain environments may even require their specific
certifications, such as installation in trains where certification for train
installations is a must have for your 4G router both for performance against
temperature range, vibration tolerance etc, as well as for safety reasons.
3) Will your 4G router be your primary or failover
connection?
IF
your 4G router is going to
be carrying your traffic all the time, i.e. will be your primary means of
Internet connectivity for your office, specialty vehicle or similar, then we
highly recommend 4G routers with more than 2 cellular 4G connections. Going
back to our high-way analogy, this will mean a larger capacity highway to carry
more cars with ease. For failover only scenarios, where the 4G connections need
to keep the connectivity alive for only limited time, having only 2 connections
might be enough. We still caution against a single 4G failover for the
following reason.
4) Do you have an industrial case that needs the 4G router?
Before
choose a 4g router, first you need consider that whether you have a industrial
case in need of 4g router, such as a backup connectivity for a branch office,
or as a primary connectivity for a mobile or temporary office, then your 4G
router needs to support some advanced features including firewall, broadband
bonding and application centric optimizations. Ideally, you can have the 4G
router capability within your primary router. In this setup your wired line can
failover on to a bonded set of 4G connections. Bonding 2 or more 4G wireless
connections will provide not only a wider bandwidth and higher throughput, but
will also provide self-healing capabilities for the traffic going over 4G
networks. Think of it as adding another lane onto your high-way. Compared to a
single lane high-way, a 2 lane high-way will always outperform. Broadband
Bonding feature will give your cars driving on that highway to dynamically
switch lanes, so to speak and therefore shielding network problems,
fluctuations and outages from your applications. This naturally brings up our
next aspect to consider.
5) Which brand 4g enterprise router will be good choice?
There
are so many kinds of 4g enterprise routers in the market. There will be many
good choices for you. And I suggest you consider E-Lins Communication as one
choice. And E-Lins will show you many excellent 4g sim card routers.
