[AusNOG] 4G LTE bridges

[Mike Everest]

Except that it won't implement a bridge between LTE network and Ethernet (if
that's what you want)

 

If it's a public routable address on your Ethernet device that you're after,
you'll need to implement an extra step with the SXT-LTE like make a tunnel
between the LTE side and some cloud router, then bridge that tunnel to the
Ethernet interface - so you can run pppoe client on the connected device,
for example, connected to some cloud-based pppoe server.

 

There are a few MikroTik-based alternatives that implement a similar
functional result as SXT-LTE using miniPCI-e modems (as already suggested by
others ;) but these will have similar limitation from perspective of bridge
functionality :-}



Happy to explain further if anyone asks ;)


Cheers!

Mike.

Hi all, 

Can anyone recommend a good 4G bridge for use in an enterprise environment?

 

I'm after something along the lines of the Cradlepoint ARC-CBA850
<https://cradlepoint.com/products/arc-cba850>  but trying to avoid using an
external USB modem, i just seem to be struggling to find something that
supports the Australian specific LTE bands.

 

planning to use it purely just as a basic bridge - the smarts of
failover/routing/security etc will be handled by something else (likely an
SRX), currently have a Telstra contract so interested in those bands
specifically but would be nice to support voda/optus LTE if there's
something that will do all the bands.

 

three questions really...

 - does anyone use anything similar they can recommend?

 - has anyone used one of the cradlepoint ones in AU and had a good
experience with it?

 - am I just chasing a dead end, and will using a USB Sierra Aircard be fine
anyway?

 

thanks!

 -Jay
