The Protectli Vault 6 Port is our recommended hardware for high demand and high throughput Althea and KeyLTE instances. The i5 Protectli is ideal as a major relay router and/or KeyLTE ENB host router. This hardware will easily saturate a 1 Gbps link while running Althea.
This small, compact, and fanless design easily fits on a shelf, or can also be VESA mounted or rackmounted (with 1U rackmount accessory, sold separately).
Note that this router does not have WIFI, but can be coupled with a WIFI Mesh system where needed. Also note that the port on the rear side is a serial port, not an Ethernet port, and cannot be used with Althea. The Protectli provides 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used in an Althea network. Each of these ports has an independent path, which allows for better routing options (as compared to cheaper routers that have an internal unmanaged switch as a means of adding more Ethernet ports).
The Protectli also has HDMI and USB connections, which can be useful for on-site troubleshooting (with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse) in situations where remote troubleshooting isn't an option.
