[AusNOG] Ethernet + 4G router recommendations

[Radek Tkaczyk]

Thanks Roubin, saw that one, which too was the same price as the Cisco881-4G. Strangely it shows at $1,500 on Ingram Micro's site...

The Cisco 819G might work too.

The C819G-4G-GA-K9 is the recently released Australian variant that supports 4G LTE with all carriers (including Telstra on 4G and 3G) and is a quad band router.  It's somewhere around the $800 mark.

Ships with the ADVIPSERVICES featureset so you can probably rig up some sort of automagic failover with EEM if you can't make it work with a routing protocol.
