Afternoon,

If you want something rock stable then i recommend the Cisco 88Xg series. They are fixed interface devices with either xDSL/HSNS/Ethernet WAN ports and inbuilt dual SIM 3G. They have dual antennas with N-Type connecters for low loss external antennas if needed.

We have deployed these in the past for 3G failover on xDSL connections and they have always been extremely reliable.

Hi All,

��

We have a bunch of regional sites (weather probes) that run some equipment, 2 PCs and are connected to the internet.

At the moment it's dongle city which I would like to change over to something a little better :)

��

I am looking for suggestions on a decent (business grade) router with 3G capability an external antenna connection.

��

At each site, the equipment sits in a rack, inside a hut and signal strength is reasonable (3/5).

��

My thinking is to deploy a basic Cisco router with a 3G WIC then an external antenna on the same mast where we collect weather data.

��

Happy to hear suggestions and input.

Many thanks
