Inseego Skyus 160 4G LTE Router with Battery Backup

A cellular backup connection is only as resilient as the power feeding it. Storms and grid failures tend to take down electricity and wireline internet together — which is precisely when alarm panels, monitoring systems, and emergency communications need a working path out. The Inseego Skyus 160 addresses this directly: a 4G LTE fixed wireless router with integrated battery backup that continues operating when site power fails.

That design makes the Skyus 160 a different tool than an ordinary LTE gateway. It is engineered for continuity roles: keeping an alarm panel in contact with its monitoring center, holding a VoIP line alive during an outage, sustaining payment processing at a small site, or maintaining telemetry from equipment during power events. Under normal conditions it operates as a compact LTE WAN device; when power is interrupted, it transitions to battery operation and keeps traffic moving until service is restored or the battery is exhausted.

At around half a pound, the unit installs in tight spaces — beside a control panel, inside an equipment cabinet, or on a shelf near the devices it serves. Deployment follows the familiar cellular pattern: insert a SIM with a data plan from your chosen carrier, connect the equipment, and verify signal. For fire and security integrators, managed service providers, and operators of unattended sites, the Skyus 160 turns power resilience from an external UPS purchase into a built-in property of the connectivity layer itself.
