Lancom Systems, a German manufacturer of networking products for the commercial and public sectors, has added to its line of LTE cellular routers. Its new VDSL2/ADSL2+/4G router combo Lancom 1781VA-4G features an internal 3G/4G/HSPA+ modem with dual SIM functionality.

Two SIM-card slots allow for intelligent 3G/4G backups, Telecompaper.com reports, explaining that if one provider fails, the router can instantly switch to the alternative provider. The same applies to the usage of mobile data volumes.

In cellular mode, the router delivers up to 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream. Its integrated multimode modem permits operation on all VDSL and ADSL connections as per Annex A, B, J, or M. Furthermore, router connections with VDSL vectoring offer up to 100 Mbps, and all-IP connections can also be used.

With its combination of 3G/4G/HSPA+, VDSL2, ADSL2+ and VPN, the Lancom 1781VA-4G is designed for companies and branch offices whose operations depend on a secure and highly available connection to the Internet, remote sites and the company headquarters. Equally, high-performance backup connections via VDSL, ADSL or LTE/4G (with dual SIM) can be set up for business-critical applications requiring up to 100 Mbps, such as secure electronic payment in retail. The Lancom 1781VA-4G is available from July.
