1. A method, comprising:
- identifying, by a router for an outdoor broadband unit, a high-temperature reading from a sensor associated with the outdoor broadband unit;
restricting, by the router and based on identifying the high temperature reading, non-critical traffic from a customer premises network to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) modem in the outdoor broadband unit;
sending, by the router and via the LTE modem, an alert signal indicating a high-temperature at the outdoor broadband unit, wherein the alert signal invokes, at an evolved packet core network, an emergency profile to drop, at the evolved packet core network, non-critical downlink traffic directed to the outdoor broadband unit; and
receiving, by the router and via the LTE modem, only critical broadband signals from the evolved packet core network based on the emergency profile.

Abstract
A device monitors temperature readings from a sensor associated with an outdoor broadband unit. When the temperature readings increase above a stored threshold value, the device sends, to a device at a core network, an alert signal that invokes, at the core network, an emergency profile associated with the outdoor broadband unit. When the temperature readings decrease below the stored threshold value, the device sends, to the device at the core network, a normal signal that invokes, at the core network, a default profile associated with the outdoor broadband unit.

9. A device, comprising:
-
a memory to store a plurality of instructions; and a processor to execute instructions in the memory to; monitor temperature readings from a sensor associated with an outdoor broadband unit; restrict, when the temperature readings increase above a stored threshold value, non-critical uplink traffic from a customer premises network to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) modem in the outdoor broadband unit; send, to a device at an evolved packet core network and when the temperature readings increase above a stored threshold value, an alert signal, wherein the alert signal invokes, at the evolved packet core network, an emergency profile to drop, at the evolved packet core network, non-critical downlink traffic directed to the outdoor broadband unit; receive, via the LTE modem, only critical broadband signals from the evolved packet core network based on the emergency profile; and send, to the device at the evolved packet core network and when the temperature readings decrease below the stored threshold value, a normal signal, wherein the normal signal invokes, at the evolved packet core network, a default profile associated with downlink traffic directed to the outdoor broadband unit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computational device to:
-
monitor temperature readings from a sensor associated with an outdoor broadband unit; restrict when the temperature readings increase above a stored threshold value, non-critical uplink traffic from a customer premises network to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) modem in the outdoor broadband unit; send, to a device at an evolved packet core network and when the temperature readings increase above a stored threshold value, an alert signal, wherein the alert signal invokes, at the evolved packet core network, an emergency profile to drop, at the evolved packet core network, non-critical downlink traffic directed to the outdoor broadband unit; receive, via the LTE modem, only critical broadband signals from the evolved packet core network based on the emergency profile; and send, to the device at the evolved packet core network and when the temperature readings decrease below the stored threshold value, a normal signal, wherein the normal signal invokes, at the evolved packet core network, a default profile associated with downlink traffic directed to the outdoor broadband unit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. An outdoor broadband unit, comprising:
-
a broadband home router configured to; identify a high-temperature reading from a sensor associated with the outdoor broadband unit, restrict, when the high-temperature reading is identified, non-critical uplink traffic from a customer premises network to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) modem in the outdoor broadband unit; send, to a device at an evolved packet core network and when the high-temperature reading is identified, an alert signal, wherein the alert signal invokes, at an evolved packet core network, an emergency profile to cause the evolved packet core network to drop, at the evolved packet core network, non-critical downlink traffic directed to the outdoor broadband unit, and receive, via the LTE modem, only critical broadband signals from the evolved packet core network based on the emergency profile; and a mounting bracket mounted to an extension arm and configured to transfer heat from the broadband home router. - View Dependent Claims (19)
