The router authenticates fibre directly via the SFP module, runs the firewall and SD-WAN stack on that interface, and pairs with the embedded 5G modem for a clean multi-WAN architecture.

That works but introduces a separate failure mode and double-NAT in some configurations. The Fiber 5G variant integrates the SFP cage directly: fibre comes in, terminates in the router, single device runs the WAN. Cleaner rack, simpler fault diagnosis, fewer SKUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFibre-to-the-premises branches\u003c\/strong\u003e where the ISP delivers fibre directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDatacentre and colo handoffs\u003c\/strong\u003e where fibre is the primary WAN and 5G is the backup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-site enterprise\u003c\/strong\u003e standardising on a single device per branch with both fibre and 5G integrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-tenant buildings\u003c\/strong\u003e where the building hands off via fibre to the branch demarcation point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in SFP fibre cage\u003c\/strong\u003e: supports common SFP module standards for direct fibre WAN termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbedded 5G NR sub-6 GHz modem\u003c\/strong\u003e with LTE Cat-20 fallback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-gig Ethernet\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Balance 310 chassis (10G + 2.5G ports)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeedFusion bonding\u003c\/strong\u003e across fibre, cellular, and additional WAN, hot failover, smoothing, bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInControl 2 cloud management\u003c\/strong\u003e with Cloud Provisioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1-Year PrimeCare bundled\u003c\/strong\u003e; renewable via PRM-D tier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpeedFusion bonded fibre + 5G architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe natural deployment is to bond the SFP fibre WAN with the embedded 5G WAN via SpeedFusion. Under normal conditions, fibre carries the bulk of the load. If fibre drops (cable cut, ISP outage), 5G picks up immediately with no break in active sessions. SpeedFusion can also smooth packet loss across the cellular path during sub-second fibre flickers that would otherwise trigger TCP retransmits and slow user-facing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the full Ethernet WAN spec, ports, throughput, recommended user count, and accessory list, see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peplink-balance-310\"\u003ebase Balance 310 product page\u003c\/a\u003e.
