Your branch is 40 minutes from the nearest fibre drop. The clinic's Wi-Fi can't cover the car park. The pop-up site needs to be online by Monday and the telco says 'allow six weeks.' This router kills that problem. Cat 18 LTE with dual SIM gives you a primary cellular link and a backup before anyone else has booked a fibre appointment. Five GbE ports plug straight into your existing switch. Dual-band Wi-Fi handles the laptops and tablets on site. The five-year NetCloud subscription keeps your SD-WAN, IPSec VPN at 400 Mbps, and firewall at 940 Mbps managed from day one. Typical client count is 50 — a small office, a clinic, a regional store. All sorted before their next Monday
