The Nighthawk's firmware doesn't feel as though it was ready for public
use. It could've been a far better device if they'd done not a whole lot
differently.
Another caveat we've found is that it's not a fan of losing cellular
service. Occasionally it requires a restart to realise there's service
once more.

The telstra Nighthawk is very unreliable. It goes to sleep and needs
to kicked into life once in a while on KAN. Have a look in the Netgear
forums or Whingepool, I mean Whirlpool forum.

Thank you everyone who responded. I have a nice list of options to try out.
Below is a summary of the options I have been given. Some options I
have excluded due to no ethernet port or direct SIM etc. Some more
expensive options than I planned in there but that's ok in this
context.
Would specifically like to hear from anybody using the Teltonika
RUT950 as that appears to fit perfectly. I think I will have that and
one of integrated Routerboard's tested.

Morning everybody,
I was wondering what people are using for LTE terminations these days.
Use case is simply a reliable interface for customer end site backup
links/internet traffic etc.
At present I have been suggesting using Cradlepoint IBR series hooked
into either Juniper or Cisco gear as they have been pretty reliable
for me.
Ideally:
* Something in the $200-300 range.
* Presents an ethernet port.
* Takes a SIM directly.
* Has external antenna's.
* Optionally supports some variation of IP pass thru, VPN, or GRE.
The pain point in the past is the various consumer dongles either
dying or requiring me to script something to reboot them when they
drop.
Cheers,
Mark
