#1Noticed that the MB8000 despite it's whooping cost just has one LAN output vs most other routers such as the kyocera or ZTE Bavo that has 4 ports. What's up with that

#2Top Global MB8000/ MB6000 LAN Ports
True that does seem rather odd that's why Top Global is just about to release the MB6800 which is available here http://www.rfwel.com/shop/?target=pr...product_id=685.
The probably figured that if you can cough up $600+ for the MB8000 you should have no problem getting a cheap switch such as http://www.rfwel.com/shop/?target=pr...product_id=695 to expand the single output port.
Just don't daisy chain the MB8000/6000 this with another wireless router especially if both are operating at the same wireless radio channel and the CAT5/6 cable connecting the 2 is short

#3MB8000 Lan Usage
This router is ruggedized and designed for remote hotspots .... if you need a solution for LAN networking a cheaper mobile router could be used for connecting to the internet. I think this is designed more as an AP or a hotspot gateway such as the D-Link DSA3200 (?) than a simple residential gateway ...

#4The MB6800 has 4 LAN Port
as well as a ton of other features. One nice one is that it supports Ethernet uplink (DSL, Cable Modem, Satellite, another mobile router etc) as well as both EVDO/1xRTT from CDMA carriers and HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE from GSM carriers.
One other interesting feature that I noticed is that in addition to all these it can support a v.90 modem for backup. Now this might seem archaic but we have marine vessels that have a good satellite telephone system but don't want to tie up VSAT internet just to have someone remotely manage their systems when out of range.
