FAQs
What is the difference between the MG51 and MG51E?
The MG51 uses internal antennas; the MG51E ships with four external dipole antennas for stronger reception in challenging sites. Both share identical electronics and performance.
Can I use the MG51E as my primary internet link?
Absolutely. With 5G speeds up to 2 Gbps and dual-SIM fail-over, many Australian organisations run the MG51E as their day-one primary link, or as a high-availability SD-WAN circuit.
Which SIM size does the gateway accept?
Dual Nano (4FF) SIM trays are provided—simply load the service from your preferred carrier.
Is the MG51E certified for Telstra and Optus?
Yes. The gateway carries RCM and carrier approvals for Telstra, Optus and other major networks, so it will register immediately on their 5G/LTE bands.
Does it support PoE power?
Yes—802.3at PoE+ is fully supported. Alternatively, power the unit with the optional 12 V DC adapter.
