Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics

Monitor & Diagnose Remote Equipment From Anywhere
If you need to monitor and diagnose remote equipment such as factory automation, electrical substations, turbines, generators, water treatment or irrigation systems, the Proxicast LAN-Cell 3G cellular router is your "drop-in" solution.

With the LAN-Cell, your remote equipment becomes securely Internet accessible anywhere there is cell phone service. Your support staff can access, monitor, diagnose and update your equipment from anywhere without going onsite. The savings from avoiding just one site visit can easily exceed your investment in the LAN-Cell.

Best of all, you can deploy the LAN-Cell 3G router with no impact on the remote site's network infrastructure or security. This is especially convenient if you're monitoring equipment at your customer's sites. Gain fast, easy access to your equipment without the headaches of wiring, approvals, and equipment reconfiguration at each site.

High Availability Communications for Mission Critical Equipment
The LAN-Cell 2 provides 3 ways to connect to your remote sites:

1. Wired Ethernet - DSL, Cable Modem, etc.
2. Serial Modem (Analog POTS, point-to-point RF, satellite, etc.)
3. Cellular Modem (2G/3G CDMA or GSM)

Any of these interfaces can be designated as primary, with the others serving as redundant back-up communication paths in the event that higher priority paths are down. Fail-over to the back-up interfaces is automatic. This provides you with the most reliable means of ensuring access to critical remote installations.

Works With Your Existing Monitoring Application Software
The LAN-Cell 3G router supports any TCP or UDP-based networking protocol, so you can use your existing LAN or serial-based equipment monitoring and diagnostic software tools with no changes.

Ethernet-based devices connect directly to the LAN-Cell. Serial-based systems (RS232/422/485) can be easily interfaced with an inexpensive serial-to-Ethernet converter. You can even "mix & match" Ethernet and serial devices using the LAN-Cell's built-in 4 port 10/100 Ethernet switch.

For Windows and Linux based equipment, you can use remote desktop software packages such as PC-Anywhere or VNC to control devices over the Internet. Or use the LAN-Cell's built-in VPN client & server to securely extend your corporate network to remote devices without the need for additional hardware, software or device configuration changes.
