Proxicast LAN-Cell 2TM  
High Performance Cellular 3G Router

FEATURES

The Proxicast LAN‑Cell 2 is a high-performance, rugged, upgradeable, commercial-grade cellular 3G router that allows multiple PC's, laptops, web-cams, PLCs, POS terminals, ATMs and other Ethernet-based devices to simultaneously utilize a single cellular data account for primary or backup connectivity.

Building on the success of the original LAN‑Cell Mobile Gateway, the LAN-Cell 2 3G router adds support for the latest 3G high‑speed cellular technologies and dramatically expanded routing, security and management features.

The LAN‑Cell 2 3G router is the most advanced, secure and flexible cellular 3G router available. The LAN‑Cell 2 protects your LAN equipment from Internet threats and gives you control over your cellular data connection in ways no other 3G modem or 3G router can.

Key Features of the LAN-Cell 2 3G Router

Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall & DoS Protection
Cell-SentryTM cellular data budgeting system - helps manage cellular plan caps and overages
Supports dynamic or static IP addresses assigned by cellular carriers

High Performance Cellular Mobile 3G Router
The LAN‑Cell 2 mobile 3G router supports today's fastest 3G cellular standards, such as EV‑DO Rev(A) and HSDPA / HSUPA. With some 3G services offering bandwidths of over 1,000 Kbps downstream and 500 Kbps upstream, many applications requiring broadband performance can now “go cellular”. And with its 3G modem PC‑Card architecture, the LAN‑Cell 2 is carrier independent and can easily be upgraded as newer and faster cellular technologies, such as 4G and WiMAX become available.

Advanced Mobile Routing & Management
The LAN‑Cell 2 mobile 3G router has routing and security features typically found only in wired corporate routers costing thousands more. The LAN‑Cell 2 provides seamless Internet connectivity and unmatched security to PCs and laptops as well as devices that were never designed for connection to the Internet, such as sensors, data loggers, PLCs, ATMs, and traffic controls. All without requiring any additional software or configuration on your remote equipment. And it's easy to manage hundreds or even thousand of LAN‑Cell 2's using most standard SNMP software packages.

Enterprise Level Security & VPN
The LAN‑Cell's NAT and advanced rule-based SPI firewall provide highly granular security and policy enforcement for all remote devices and users. The built‑in 3DES and AES encryption-capable VPN client and server software eliminates the need to configure individual devices and extends your secure corporate network to devices that cannot run VPN client software.

Modular Chassis with Card-GuardTM and Card-LockTM
The LAN‑Cell 2's unique modular chassis allows the device to operate with the cellular PC-Card exposed or protected inside the unit. By using the Card-Guard, the PC‑Card modem is completely protected from harm or tampering. The Card‑Guard includes a mounting hole for an external SMA bulkhead antenna connector. Proxicast offers optional PC‑Card to SMA "pigtail" cables to provide a rugged external antenna connection for different PC‑Card modems and antennas. The chassis also features Proxicast's Card-Lock system that prevents the PC‑Card from coming loose or being unintentionally removed from the LAN‑Cell 3G router.

Cell-SentryTM Cellular Data Budgeting System
Cellular carrier’s offer a variety of data service plans scaled to meet your application needs. However they usually impose steep “overage” charges for exceeding your allotment. Even “unlimited” plans have maximum “caps” that can trigger fees as high as $0.50/MB ($500/GB) or $0.25/minute. The LAN-Cell 2’s Cell-Sentry feature monitors your cellular usage and can alert you when you reach a predefined threshold or even block additional cellular usage to avoid overage charges.
