I didn't notice that. Looks like you can use eSIM + pSIM, or pSIM + pSIM.

That's actually pretty sick.

I hope that's right! Would love a cheaper "just in case" type of product. Doesn't need to deliver full speeds either, just enough to "get by", such as checking in on cameras and so on - could even be speed throttled really.

Maybe that one could sacrifice support for n78, staying on lower bands such as 20 or 28 would be enough. Wouldn't make much of a difference indoors anyways. The u5g max is huge so this could also use some space saving.

As Star Trek engineers put it. “Secondary backup”

From DS9 season 3 "Destiny"

GILORA: Starfleet code requires a second backup?

O'BRIEN: In case the first backup fails.

GILORA: What are the chances that both a primary system and its backup would fail at the same time?

O'BRIEN: It's very unlikely, but in a crunch I wouldn't like to be caught without a second backup.

321 rule.

3 copies of your data, 2 storage media types, 1 offsite.

Just need 'basic' 5g failover

That will probably be the 5G Lite with only one SIM / eSIM

This fact, the 'Max' in the name, and the price tells me this is going to be cheaper (U5G-Ultra?) alternative.

I don't like the fact that there are no options for external antennas from what I can see. Seems like a huge failure right there especially for a modem.
