For fixed 3G sites where 3G is used as a backup to wireline access, this ha=
s been found to be an acceptable solution, although round trip latency is q=
uite high. My understanding is that the wireless and wireline backbone netw=
orks interconnect/peer in the eastern Texas area, meaning that a wireless-t=
o-wireline connection where both ends are in Southern California must trave=
rse the US back to Texas for every packet.
Another issue for fixed 3G locations is their inadvertent association with =
microcell or picocell devices, where the geographical telco wireline/wirele=
ss backbone interconnect is also not geographically distributed throughout =
the US, resulting in longer round trip latency.
Make sure that the telco's underlying cellular backbone, and its wireline i=
nterconnection/peering points are well understood.

Multi question email.
Is there anyone on this list that supports this infrastructure, (verizon 3G=
/4G Broadband) or is there a place a seasoned admin can go outside of the g=
eneral support desk to get assistance when a major outage is occurring?
Secondly has anyone on this list deployed this technology within their infr=
astructure and can speak on the experience.
Thank you
