Your branch in regional NSW can't get a reliable NBN line. Or your pop-up clinic needs internet on day one, not week three. The Cradlepoint E300 handles it. Cat 7 LTE with dual SIM means you're online the moment you unbox it. Five GbE ports cover your local network. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) keeps staff connected without a separate access point. The 1-year NetCloud service gives you IPSec VPN, stateful firewall, and SD-WAN management without hiring a network admin.
This is the router we spec for sites where fibre just isn't there yet, or where you need a cellular failover so the till doesn't stop running when the line drops. Pair it with a wired link for hybrid WAN, or run it as your primary connection. Typical setup supports around 50 concurrent clients.
One thing to note: the E300 uses an external DC power supply (12 VDC 3A). Plan your bench space accordingly
