Admin office backup

The router backs up the office and key systems, switching automatically if the line fails.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT901 or a 5G router such as the RUTC50.

Whole-school failover

For larger schools, a 5G connection with an outdoor router gives enough capacity for essential services.

Typical kit: Teltonika OTD500 feeding the school's firewall.

Things to check before you buy

Questions

Does the backup work with our existing firewall?

Yes. The cellular router usually connects to a spare WAN port on the firewall, which handles the failover.
