LTE for continuity, mobility, and rapid deployment

LTE is the fastest way to get a site online and one of the most practical ways to add failover to fibre. It's also useful for private connectivity scenarios (like APNs) where devices or branches need controlled, secure access without relying on public internet assumptions.

Choose your LTE model

The right LTE option depends on whether your usage is predictable or variable, and whether the goal is primary connectivity, failover, or device/private connectivity.

Fixed Wireless Access
Most common

Predictable monthly profile for sites and failover

A fixed LTE product model that's well suited to branches, backup links, and environments with known monthly data needs.

  • Good fit for fibre failover and continuity
  • Suitable for branch connectivity where fibre lead times are long
  • Predictable commercial model for standard usage profiles
  • Coverage and performance depend on site conditions
Usage-Based LTE

Flexible consumption for variable usage

A usage-based model when you want flexibility and you expect data usage to vary month-to-month.

  • Good for variable demand sites and temporary setups
  • Useful for specific device or operational scenarios
  • A flexible way to add LTE without fixed assumptions
  • Best when usage predictability is low
Need private connectivity (APNs)?

If you're connecting devices, branches, or systems that need controlled access, ask us about private APN options. We'll recommend the right approach based on your security and routing requirements.

Common LTE use cases

LTE is most valuable when it's used intentionally: as a backup path, a fast primary, or a controlled connectivity layer.

Fibre failover (continuity)

Add LTE to keep POS, email, and core ops running when the primary fibre path is down.

Rapid deployment

Temporary sites or urgent needs where fibre lead times don't work. LTE gets you online quickly.

Device connectivity and private access

Controlled connectivity models for devices, distributed environments, and private routing requirements.

Edge sites and mobile environments

For locations where fixed last-mile isn't practical and you still need stable access.

Check LTE feasibility

LTE performance depends on coverage and site conditions. Share the address and the purpose (failover, primary, devices), and we'll recommend the right LTE model.

Note: LTE coverage and performance are site-dependent. We verify feasibility before any commitment.
