FAQ — Business 4G/5G routers
What does a professional 4G/5G router cost? expand_more
As a rental, from €79 ex-VAT/mo for a 4G router (Teltonika RUT240) with multi-carrier SIM and supervision, and from €129 ex-VAT/mo for a 5G router (RUTX50). For purchase, hardware starts at €599 ex-VAT, configuration included. The data plan is usage-based as an option.
Difference between a pro router and a 4G box? expand_more
A professional router (Teltonika, Peplink, Cradlepoint) offers automatic multi-carrier failover, IPsec/WireGuard VPN tunnels, VLAN segmentation to secure payments, and 24/7 monitored SLA. A consumer box handles none of this and offers no service guarantee.
What throughput does business 5G deliver? expand_more
Depending on site coverage, a Sub-6 5G router typically delivers 200 Mbps to over 1 Gbps by aggregating carriers. 4G LTE-A reaches ~300 Mbps. We measure real per-carrier throughput during the free audit.
Can payments (POS / till) be secured? expand_more
Yes. Median isolates payment flows in a dedicated PCI-DSS VLAN, routed over IPsec AES-256 VPN to your acquirer, separate from guest Wi-Fi. A private APN is available so traffic never crosses the public internet.
Do we need fibre to open a store? expand_more
No. The 5G router is the primary connection from day one (Primary Wireless). When fibre lands, it automatically switches to backup. Connectivity in 48h vs a 6-12 week fibre wait.
Does Median deliver across France? expand_more
Yes, next-day delivery in mainland France, with a sub-4h express intervention in Île-de-France under Premium contracts. Hardware arrives pre-configured (Zero-Touch) for instant activation.
