Routers

Matched to the place each unit installs, from a kiosk cabinet to a bus roof. Explore routers by placement: 5G and LTE units for kiosks, EV chargers, and equipment cabinets; vehicle units for buses and service fleets; sealed outdoor units for poles and rooftops; satellite units for sites beyond cellular coverage; and SD-WAN units for branches, depots, and headquarters.

Peplink and Ericsson Cradlepoint routers are sold here under manufacturer authorization, and more.

Features include automatic failover between connections, SIM compatibility with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, and AC, DC, vehicle, or Power over Ethernet (PoE) power. Cloud management handles configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting remotely from the manufacturer console, for fleet depots, unattended sites, staffed facilities, and distributed operations alike.

Failover Between Cellular, Wired, and Satellite

A failover router monitors each network path, redirects traffic when a connection fails, and returns to the preferred path when service is restored. Choosing a router starts with the connections the site requires.

  • ✔ Single-modem routers carry one cellular connection, often with a wired WAN port for fiber or cable. The fit for kiosks, EV chargers, and compact cabinets.
  • ✔ Dual-SIM and dual-modem routers carry two carrier networks, with the second available when the first loses coverage or goes down. The fit for vehicles and unattended sites that require carrier redundancy.
  • ✔ Multi-WAN routers combine fiber, cable, cellular, and satellite for redundancy and added capacity. The fit for branches, depots, and headquarters.
  • ✔ Satellite-first routers run satellite as the primary path with cellular backup, for remote yards, industrial facilities, and rural sites with limited terrestrial coverage.

Vehicle, Kiosk, Rooftop, Remote Yard, or Branch

Each operating environment calls for a different configuration, from compact cellular units to ruggedized outdoor and mobile hardware.

  • ✔ Bus, rail car, or service vehicle. Mobile Routers with vehicle power inputs, vibration tolerance, GPS tracking, and cellular radios built for moving fleets.
  • ✔ Kiosk, charger, or cabinet. Cellular Routers sized for existing enclosures, with dual-SIM or wired WAN options for redundancy.
  • ✔ Pole, rooftop, or open lot. Outdoor Routers in sealed, IP-rated housings for exposed installs, often with no separate protective enclosure.
  • ✔ Remote yard, rural plant, or island site. Multi-Orbit Routers that run satellite first and cellular second.
  • ✔ Branch, depot, or headquarters. SD-WAN Routers with multiple WAN ports, higher throughput tiers, and cellular backup behind a wired primary.
  • ✔ Temporary site, event, or incident. Portable Cellular Routers for pop-up operations, mobile deployments, and emergency response.

Carrier Choice and SIMs

Most cellular routers accept SIM cards from all three major carriers. Many hold two SIMs for access to two carrier networks through one device, and select models add an embedded SIM.

Carrier certifications, SIM slot count, and SIM size are listed on each product page. Routers certified for public-safety priority networks are marked for agencies that require them.

Cloud Management and Fleet GPS Tracking

Cloud-managed routers report to the manufacturer console for remote configuration, firmware updates, reboots, data usage, and alerts across single sites and distributed networks.

Vehicle routers add GPS tracking, with location and connection status for each unit in the fleet.

Throughput, Wi-Fi, Power, and Region

Beyond connection type, the right router comes down to throughput, Wi-Fi, power, environment, and region.

  • ✔ 5G or LTE. 5G for higher-bandwidth sites with 5G coverage; LTE for lower-bandwidth applications. Many 5G routers fall back to LTE automatically.
  • ✔ Wi-Fi. Built-in Wi-Fi on many models, including Wi-Fi 6, or a separate access point for larger coverage areas.
  • ✔ Power. AC, DC, vehicle, and PoE input. Some routers also provide PoE output for cameras and access points.
  • ✔ Environment. Operating temperature range, enclosure rating, and vibration tolerance vary by model and are listed on each product page.
  • ✔ Region. Americas, Global, and North America models carry different cellular bands. Choose the model for the country of installation.
  • ✔ Antennas and mounts. Permanent installs often call for external antennas and mounting hardware. Explore Antennas and Accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a vehicle router need that a fixed one does not?

Vehicle power input, vibration tolerance, a wide operating temperature range, GPS, and cellular radios that hand off between towers as the vehicle moves. Explore Mobile Routers.

How many SIMs does a router hold?

It varies by model: a single SIM, dual SIMs, multiple modems with a SIM each, or an embedded SIM. Slot count, SIM size, and configuration are listed on each product page.

Can a router use satellite and cellular at the same time?

Yes. Compatible routers run satellite and cellular together for automatic failover or simultaneous use, depending on the device and configuration. Multi-Orbit Routers are built for this, and many multi-WAN routers accept a satellite terminal on a wired WAN port.

Does the router come with antennas?

It depends on the model. Some routers ship with standard antennas, and permanent installs often call for external antennas matched to the location, enclosure, or mount. Included components are listed on each product page. Explore Antennas.

What do Americas, Global, and North America mean on a product name?

These are regional variants with different cellular bands and carrier compatibility. Choose the version for the country and carriers where the router will operate; specifications and certifications can differ by region.

Can one router cover two jobs, such as a vehicle today and a kiosk later?

Sometimes. A router covers both when its power input, enclosure, connectivity, and environmental ratings fit each install, and vehicle and fixed sites often differ on all four. A Paygasus specialist can confirm before quoting.
