The C897VAG-LTE-GA-K9 is the most capable member of that family for Australian copper services, because it handles the broadband connection itself and adds cellular backup rather than depending on external hardware for either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLTE failover is the feature that sets this variant apart from the plain C897VA. When a copper service drops — and on ageing infrastructure it does — the router shifts traffic to the cellular path automatically and shifts back when the primary recovers. For a site running EFTPOS, VoIP, or cloud line-of-business applications, that difference is measured in lost trading hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a plug-and-play device and should not be bought as one. Configuration is done through the Cisco IOS command line, and getting VDSL, LTE, VPN, and firewall policy working together requires someone comfortable in that environment. For an organisation with Cisco skills in-house or a managed provider, it is capable and well-proven hardware. For anyone wanting a web interface and a setup wizard, it is the wrong purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#0060a9;font-size:17px;margin:26px 0 10px;padding-bottom:6px;border-bottom:1px
