Overview
ZPE offers 5G modems as M.2 modules for its Nodegrid SR routers and Nodegrid Serial Console Plus, for out-of-band access and WAN failover. The 5G modem supports 5G in the sub-6 range with 4G LTE and 3G fallback, dual SIM and GNSS. ZPE names M2-CELL5G-C as the 5G module for the Nodegrid Gate SR, replacing the 4G M2-CELL-C, and lists matching modules for other Nodegrid products. The Gate SR has two cellular slots with dual SIM.
Built for
- Out-of-band access over cellular
- Primary or backup WAN for branches
- Dual-modem, quad-SIM carrier redundancy
- Migrating Gate SR units from 4G to 5G
Key features
5G with fallback
Global 5G in the sub-6 range, with 4G LTE and 3G UMTS where 5G is not available.
Dual SIM
Each modem takes two SIMs for carrier redundancy and failover.
Multi-modem support
The Gate SR has two cellular slots, so two modems can be online at the same time.
Nodegrid OS integration
Cellular health checks, signal history, multi-level failover, IP passthrough and SMS-based actions.
Location features
GNSS positioning supports geolocation and geo-based whitelisting of the appliance.
