Rural broadband for farms
4G and 5G broadband for farmhouses, farm offices, holiday lets and workshops where the fixed line is slow or not available. With the router or antenna mounted where the signal is, mobile broadband often beats rural fibre-to-the-cabinet speeds by a wide margin.

Typical farm broadband set-ups
Farmhouse or farm office
An outdoor 5G router on the gable end or a pole, fed by one Ethernet cable that also carries power, with the existing Wi-Fi router or a mesh system indoors. Nothing radio-related runs through the wall, so there is no cable loss.
Typical kit: Teltonika OTD500 or the OTD500 office bundle, and an unlimited or large data SIM.
Indoor router with an external antenna
Where you would rather keep the router indoors, mount a MIMO antenna high on the outside wall and keep the cables short. In remote areas a directional antenna pointed at the best mast often doubles the speed.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUTC50 or RUTM30, a Fullband 4x4 MIMO antenna or a Poynting XPOL-2 directional.
Holiday lets and farm shops
Guest Wi-Fi and card payments need to stay separate. A business router can run separate networks for guests, tills and the farm office from one connection.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUT951 (4G) or a 5G router, with a Teltonika TAP200 access point for wider Wi-Fi.
Things to check before you buy
- Which network is strongest: test all of them at the house. The best network for your farm may not be the one with the best national results.
- Data: broadband for a household or office needs an unlimited or large data plan.
- Line of sight: trees and hills matter. Height and a directional antenna help more than anything else.
- Backup: if you do have a slow fixed line, keep it and use the router's failover so one fails over to the other.
Our guide to business mobile broadband and 5G FWA covers this in more depth.

Farm broadband questions
Is 4G or 5G broadband good enough to replace a rural phone line?
Often, yes. Where there is good signal, especially with an outdoor router or external antenna, mobile broadband is usually much faster than a long copper line.
Can I keep my landline broadband as a backup?
Yes. Most business routers can use both and switch automatically if one fails.
