Greetings,
no sure if I'm picking the right forum for this question but hopefully someone will point me in the right direction if I am. I'm looking for advice on a temporary network solution. Here's what I have,
New DMVPN site--the LAN/Wan architecture will be in place in time for the move in, but the WAN circuit will not. Providers don't have a temporary solution, (not t1's, cables, etc.). So I need something to hold me over until I can get the new fiber circuit installed. Ideally I'd find a way to get 10mb, but could probably get by with 5mb, but given the short window, I expect I need something pretty much out of the box.
Should probably add that this is in the Toronto area....and I'm remote. I have the old facility a few miles away, but I"m not sure what the line of site looks like.
So 5mb, (minimum), out of box, not cost prohibitive--how hard can it be?
Thanks for looking

If you just need temporary high speed internet access at the site you could get a LTE to Ethernet modem and plug it into your router (if there is proper cell coverage in the area). Most providers offer these types of devices on month-to-month plans (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc...).
I am not advocating for a particular provider/product, but here is what Telus offers for example: http://business.telus.com/en/business/on/huawei-b890 .
Depending on how many GB you need in a month they can be a bit pricey, but it is something to consider if you just need a temporary tie-over until your fiber comes.

The other option would be some kind of wireless or radio bridge. Few miles to your old site shouldn't be a problem if you had a clear line of sight. If not, probably still doable, but likely would require more powerful equipment (i.e. more costly). (NB: not familiar with how Canada radio regulations would impact.)
