[AusNOG] 4G Redundancy Device

[James Andrewartha]

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.

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.
