Get secure, affordable, super-fast connectivity with 4G LTE for instant internet or for backup connectivity in case of service disruptions
SYDNEY September 21, 2017 — NETGEAR®, Inc.. (NASDAQ: NTGR), the leading provider of networking devices that power today’s smart home and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has released a new 4G LTE Modem offering mobile broadband, along with a fail-safe connectivity solution.

NETGEAR’s 4G LTE Modem 2120 can also act as a backup to your primary broadband network for avoiding service disruptions when your fixed wireline connection goes down - a great solution where continuity is critical.

What’s more, with cheaper data and growing allowances, many are choosing this as a preferred option over a fixed line connection.
