The N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router – Mobile Broadband Edition provides customers with an automatic DSL-to-3G+ cellular failover in case of a DSL outage.

"Zero downtime and an always-on reliable internet connection is a must for any business today. Telephone services in most businesses today are routed through the broadband network via Voice over IP (VoIP) and newer generation credit card machines rely on broadband for their connectivity. The comprehensive feature set that we have built into this product combined with its ease of use and failover protection makes it the ideal choice for use in small and medium businesses."
