I built a Mikrotik cellular 3G/4G/LTE device last year and the Mini-pcie card that I used was the Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7700. At the time with ROS 5.x the drivers sucked bad and wouldn’t stay connected. This week I pulled it back out and installed ROS 6.13 and so far it has worked good. Unfortunately I’m in an area with AT&T “4G” and our throughput kinda sucks. I’m going to take it with me to OKC next time I run up there and see how it works on the LTE up there.

If you even find one that is compatible it likely has bugs where 3g might work but 4g doesn't. Cellular is damn expensive but might be doable in this case. The plan with baltic is sprint only and is a true backup plan with low monthly costs but high data cost per MB so I would go with a standard verizon plan and maybe get a refurb cradlepoint MBR1000 on ebay, I have one and it works great. I'm a 100% mikrotik network as a wisp but can't recomend for cellular On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 3:08 PM, Faisal Imtiaz <fai...@snappytelecom.net> wrote: The Cell data Rate plans can get expensive.... if that is not an issue, yes this will work. However you can also consider building them a small network using 900mhz eg to view the camera or tie this to their existing internet (home or nearby) . Just a thought.

We were told it could be used for a back up at a remote site if you lost standard access through your regular network. In the past week I have had 2 ranchers hit me for a solution where they could check their water tanks with camera. The ranch property is leased ground so there is no standard wireline or wisp in the area and is way out of our service area. Has anyone done anything similar to this? From what we gathered it would use an existing cell plan for the data usage. I also heard that it could be used on Verizon & Sprint, but AT&T may be an issue. These places all have power at the tank/pumps, so we were just thinking a ubnt camera and this device, maybe a small battery backup, but we were just unsure if the router was a viable product for this application Thanks heith _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
