Hi All,

We have a problem with cell towers during load-shedding where the MTN simcard shows connection (4/5 bars) but no data traffic during loadshedding. . .when loadshedding is over, it has data connectivity again.

We have a small network with 7 Wifi CCTV cameras in a factory that the security company monitors when the alarm is triggered during loadshedding hours.
On that little network is a TP-Link LTE Router and the 7 wifi cameras.

Is there an LTE-router available that has dual simcards, where the one simcard can act as fallback for when the other simcard loses connection/traffic ?
We have good signal with both Telkom and MTN during normal non-loadshedding times, but the simcards experience connection issues during loadshedding, sometimes the Telkom simcard works and the MTN not, other times MTN works and Telkom doesnt.

Thanks for the help !

I see the D-Link below can take dual simcards and you can configure both simcard profiles for when to switch from the one to the other etc. ..according to the manual

D-Link DWR-925W 4G LTE Dual Simcard/Load Balance/Fallback​


I dont seem to find someone with stock on these:
 
You can get 2x LTE routers that plugs in a dual ethernet Wan router, like a TP link Omada
 
Can offer this, with full remote management, and bonding of traffic streams for improved QOS.
