Has anyone deployed an LTE network backup solution? Typically a 'router' device that upon failure of a primary internet link will route traffic via an LTE/4G link? What router/radio? What carrier? What type of data plan? There looks to be cost effective 'IOT' data plans that provide low bandwidth and small data caps, but would be more than adequate for alarm reporting or other telemetry applications.
I'm looking to segment my home network and place critical resources behind this type of router. Critical resources would include an alarm system, etc.
I've been thinking about a cellular backup specifically for alarm reporting. This goes another direction by providing multiple paths for internet alarm reporting. It's not exactly the same as a dedicated cellular alarm system device, but it could be more general purpose and flexible. I'm thinking the upfront costs would be higher, but the recurring costs could me lower...
Any thoughts and pointers are welcome.
