Secure Communications for Financial Transactions
The Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 3G router offers the most security options of any cellular communications product on the market. Securely link to your remote devices over the public Internet using the LAN-Cell's built-in state-of-the-art security features.

Unlike simple cellular modems that provide Internet access but leave your equipment and communications unprotected, the LAN-Cell 2 integrates a 3G broadband cellular modem with full ICSA-certified IPSec VPN end-point capabilities plus an ICSA-certified firewall and advanced routing features. The LAN-Cell 2 supports up to 5 simultaneous IPSec VPN tunnels so you can securely communicate with your credit card processor and corporate "back-end" systems.

All communications with the LAN-Cell (including device management) can be fully protected using DES/3DES/AES encryption and X.509 or PKCS digital certificates. You can restrict access to the LAN, VPN or LAN-Cell itself based on IP address, MAC address, and/or application, thereby "locking down" communications to only authorized devices or networks.

Fast, Easy Deployment
You are not tied to a specific vendor's proprietary communications network or protocol. No need to wait for or pay for communications lines to be installed -- get your equipment connected to your financial network within minutes. You can connect multiple remote devices to each LAN-Cell, further reducing your communications costs. Deploy using any CDMA or GSM cellular network worldwide by simply inserting a compatible 3G PC-Card modem.

The LAN-Cell 2 3G router supports wired Ethernet, Cellular, and Dial-up (telephone/satellite) modem communications. Any of these interfaces can be designated as primary, with the others serving as redundant back-up communication paths. Fail-over to the back-up interfaces is automatic -- delivering maximum up-time for your financial transaction communications.

The LAN-Cell 2's small size and rugged construction allow it to be easily mounted inside of kiosk cabinets or vending machines. An external antenna jack enables you to position the antenna for maximum reception regardless of your location. Proxicast even offers several "low-profile" vandal resistant antennas ideal for stand-alone kiosk/vending machine use.

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.
