When You MUST Communicate - LAN-Cell 2
Proxicast's LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router provides flexible & redundant communications, security, and remote management services in an "all-in-one" appliance. Perfect for remote branch office deployment, the LAN-Cell 2 includes:

• 4 port 10/100 Ethernet Switch
• Integrated 802.11 a/b/g WiFi Access Point
• 1 10/100 Ethernet WAN port for DSL, Cable, T1, etc.
• 3G PC-Card modem slot for cellular communications
• Dial-Backup port for telephone or satellite modems
• Integrated ICSA-certified IPSec VPN with DES/3DES/AES encryption (5 tunnels)
• ICSA-certified Stateful Packet Inspection firewall with NAT, Port-Forwarding & Port-Redirection
• Advanced routing & system management features found only in routers costing thousands of dollars more
• Supports EVDO Rev A, EVDO Rev 0, 1xRTT, HSPUA, HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS PC-Card Modems

Use the LAN-Cell 2 3G router to provide a complete drop-in LAN / WAN / VPN / Firewall communications solution for remote sites. Keep communications up and running when your primary Internet service fails. The LAN-Cell 2 can even be powered by 12VDC batteries or solar cells. Make the LAN-Cell 2 the cornerstone of your communications disaster plan.

High Availability Communications
Any of the LAN-Cell's WAN interfaces can be designated as primary, with the others serving as redundant back-up communication paths. Fail-over to the back-up interfaces and recovery to the primary WAN interface is automatic. For example, many customers use a 3G broadband cellular PC-Card in the LAN-Cell 2 as a backup in the event that their DSL service fails. Some even add an external satellite modem to provide emergency communications if wired and cellular services are down during natural disasters.

But the LAN-Cell 2's high availability features go beyond just WAN interface fail-over. The integrated VPN client & server include high availability capabilities to allow the LAN-Cell to automatically make VPN connections to alternate end-points if your primary VPN concentrator is down. The LAN-Cell's Dynamic DNS feature also enables you to use a single DDNS hostname for the remote LAN-Cell regardless of which WAN interface is active.

The LAN-Cell also includes a unique feature called "Traffic Redirect" that can re-route WAN traffic to an alternate router/gateway on the LAN, if none of the LAN-Cell's WAN interfaces are available. This provides yet another pathway to ensure that outbound traffic is sent to any available WAN connection.

For mission critical applications such as financial transactions, emergency response vehicles or disaster recovery sites, some customers even "piggy-back" two or more LAN-Cell 2's, each with connections to different wired WAN and cellular WAN carriers, allowing the LAN-Cells to determine the best available connection.

The Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 3G Cellular Router (Mobile IP 3G Router) utilizes user accessible upgradable high-speed PC-Card (PCMCIA / laptop) 3G modems and supports all CDMA & GSM 2.5G & 3G cellular modem standards including CDMA2000: EV-DO RevA, EV-DO Rev0, 1xRTT; UMTS / W-CDMA: HSUPA, HSDPA, HSPA, EDGE, and GPRS on all major wireless carriers (cellular internet or broadband) worldwide including Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Alltel, AT&T Mobility (Cingular), T-Mobile, Rogers, Telus, Bell Mobility, Telcel, Orange, Vodafone, O2, Telstra & others. See the LAN-Cell 2 3G Router Product Specifications page for a list of the currently supported PC-Card 3G modems. The rugged LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router offers Ethernet, wireless WiFi (802.11 a/b/g) and serial interfaces plus advanced enterprise mobile router features such as multiple IPSec VPN tunnels, NAT/DMZ, SPI firewall, X.509 certificates, bandwidth management and other wireless router functions which are optimized for corporate, financial, mobile in vehicle, industrial automation, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) telemetry and SCADA type remote cellular WWAN applications. The LAN-Cell 2 is also a great satellite data link alternative or backup for Low Earth Orbit - LEO (ORBCOMM, Iridium, Globalstar) and VSAT (HughesNet, Starband) satellite network sites.
