[AusNOG] 4G router alternatives to Cradlepoint

[Guy Ellis]

Hi Andrew,

I'm testing a 5G router product here at the moment that can run mainline 
Linux or OpenWRT.

The motherboard supports both 4G and 5G modules (different footprint), 
so it could be easily configured for 4G.

If you are interested let me know.

Regards,

  - Guy.
