You've got a new site opening in six weeks. The NBN installer can't make it until month two. You need a network that's live on day one, not a promise on a spreadsheet.
The Cradlepoint E300 with an embedded Cat 18 LTE modem gets you there. Four SMA antenna connectors give you solid cellular coverage, even in regional or semi-rural spots where signal is patchy. Five GbE RJ45 ports (LAN/WAN switchable) handle your workstations, printer, and any IP gear. Dual SIM slots let you run two carriers for failover.
The Essential NetCloud plan covers one year. Stateful firewall at 940 Mbps, IPSec VPN at 400 Mbps, 20 concurrent tunnels. A 50-person team stays connected and protected without a dedicated IT hire.
Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) is built in. The included 12 VDC power supply runs off any Australian wall outlet (100–240 VAC). GNSS connector available if you need location data for field assets.
Pair it with your existing fibre as a backup, or run it as your primary link. Either way, the site goes live on schedule. Add to cart and sort this before your opening date
