{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Deciding between 4G and 5G should be based on real-world needs, not just speed. Consider the actual data use, number of devices and interfaces required, uptime requirements, and whether VPN or remote management are needed. If the application is dependable but low to moderate bandwidth, a well-chosen 4G/4GX setup may meet the need more cost-effectively and with proven reliability. If higher capacity, more simultaneous connections, or future growth are likely, 5G could be warranted, provided the site has suitable coverage and compatible hardware. Also factor in coverage at the site, the bands available from the chosen carrier, and the reliability of the network under typical conditions. Comset can compare the current range once the site, carrier, traffic pattern and uptime requirement are known.","answer_source":"approved_parent_and_related_qas","category":"4G LTE and 4GX Routers","category_slug":"4g-lte-and-4gx-routers","created_at":"2026-08-23T19:08:06+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-08-23","display_date":"2026-08-23","drip_batch":"daily_conversation_breadcrumb","drip_status":"published_topup","id":"conv-daily-20260823-e5895cd3","image_ids":["comset-category-hero-003-4g-lte-and-4gx-routers","comset-product-cm685v-4","comset-product-cm685v-6"],"image_url":"","last_updated":"2026-08-23T19:08:37+00:00","local_cache_status":"pending_airtable_sync","publish_status":"published","published":true,"published_at":"2026-08-23T19:08:06+00:00","question":"What exact criteria should we use to decide between 4G and 5G for our site?","question_intent":"conversational_followup","rss_enabled":true,"rss_pub_date":"Sun, 23 Aug 2026 19:08:06 GMT","scheduled_for":"2026-08-23T19:08:06+00:00","schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"comset-online","slug":"what-exact-criteria-should-we-use-to-decide-between-4g-and-5g-for-our-site","source":"daily_qa_drip_conversational_followup","source_queue_id":"","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"daily_qa_drip_conversational_followup","source_urls":[],"status":"active","tags":["conversation follow-up","daily drip"],"updated_at":"2026-08-23T19:08:37+00:00"}
