Cellular routers are routers that provide shared Internet access by incorporating a cellular data modem and providing traditional interfaces like Ethernet and WiFi.[1]
They can be deployed as a primary WAN link to a location where wired connections are not cost-effective, and can also be used as a secondary or business continuity plan should the primary cabled link fail.[2] Cellular routers range from simple SOHO network oriented devices through rugged industrial units with advanced features.
Types
There are two types:
- Compact: the cellular modem and the router are the same device.
- Modular: one can connect the cellular modem to the router.
