Yes. Cat 4 and Cat 6 industrial routers remain suitable for many business and machine-to-machine jobs. Cat 4 can provide up to the class’s theoretical 150 Mbps download rate, while Cat 6 can support higher theoretical throughput through carrier aggregation, but actual results depend on the carrier, tower load, signal quality, antennas and site conditions.
Many applications use far less bandwidth: telemetry, PLC data, alarms, EFT or point-of-sale backup, remote equipment access and low-volume monitoring. In those cases, reliability, interfaces, VPN capability and remote management matter more than the maximum modem category. Cat 6 is useful when the site has heavier traffic or benefits from carrier aggregation, while 5G becomes more relevant for higher-capacity work. Comset should confirm that the chosen model supports the required Australian bands, SIM service and application interfaces.
