Router LANCOM 1803VA-4G

SD-WAN VoIP gateway with VDSL and 4G. The LANCOM 1803VA-4G is an SD-WAN enabled branch router designed for small and medium-sized businesses that require high availability and interface diversity. It provides automatic backup over 4G if the wired VDSL or fiber link fails and supports IPSec VPN and SD-WAN for secure site-to-site and remote-worker connectivity. Integration with the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) and built-in telephony features make it suitable for professional site networking and voice services.

Advantages

The LANCOM 1803VA-4G combines SD-WAN management, VDSL Supervectoring and an LTE Advanced (Cat. 6) modem to ensure uninterrupted connectivity and flexible WAN routing. Centralized orchestration via the LANCOM Management Cloud enables automated secure VPN setup, load balancing across multiple WAN links and dynamic traffic steering. Built-in telephony management (VCM) supports SIP, ISDN and analog devices and provides session border control functions. The device is produced primarily in Germany and includes security features and lifecycle updates that support long-term operation and digital sovereignty.
