Backup over 4G/LTE

In the past couple of years, we deployed CradlePoint IBR650's and
IBR600's (with and without wifi respectively). It's a configurable
mini-router that can also accept wired access. There is an on-board SIM
slot. Downside is that the unit is a bit expensive as a CPE.
Lately we have been deploying Proxicast PocketPort units. These have an
RJ45 jack at one end, USB port on the other, with no built-in cell
antenna. So you'll need a USB 4G/LTE dongle in addition. Those
PocketPorts are a bit more limited in terms of config, but they work for
our use case and are less expensive overall than CradlePoint.
If you want to stick with a router from big C, I've also worked with the
newer C1111-8PLTEEA which has an onboard SIM slot. We tested them but
didn't put them in production due to cost.
HTH!
