Most of these have LTE Cat 4 modems, ie 150Mpbs down/50Mbps up theoretical. I'm still on the lookout for a standalone one that's Cat 6 or better. Well, there is the Netgear Nighthawk M1/M2 but it's more of a consumer device than one suited for infrastructure
use.<br>
<br>
We're using Fortigates at the moment so I picked up some Fortigate 30E-3G4Gs which have a Sierra Wireless EM7565 modem that's Cat 12, so 600/100Mbps theoretical. One will be replacing a LB2120 which has been functioning fine.<br>
