Designed to provide mission-critical wireless communications, the Proxicast’s Cell-PAK 3G + Wi-Fi HotSpot in a box is a wireless "grab & go" solution that provides mobile wide-area cellular Internet connectivity (WWAN) and local 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi access (WLAN) in an easy-to-deploy portable form-factor. The Cell-Pak features Proxicast’s commercial-grade LAN-Cell 2 mobile 3G cellular router.

The Cell-PAK is a rugged, self-contained, battery-powered, portable Wi-Fi HotSpot with built-in 3G cellular Internet access. Its impact and water-resistant MIL-spec rated case and on-board power pack are designed for prolonged operation in harsh environments. The Cell-PAK can connect to any available Internet service including DSL, cable or other Ethernet-based networks; to any serial modem-based service including POTS lines and satellites; or the LAN-Cell’s PC-Card slot can accept a 3G modem from any cellular carrier (CDMA/GSM) worldwide.

Unlike “personal” cellular / Wi-Fi hotspots, the Cell-PAK was specifically designed to provide unmatched flexibility, runtime and security for mobile wireless communications under any conditions. The Proxicast LAN Cell 2 in the Cell-PAK is a commercial-grade 3G cellular router with enterprise-class routing, security and VPN features that allow multiple Ethernet and Wi-Fi-based devices to share any available WAN connection with automatic fail-over to the best available service.

The Cell-PAK features an intelligent power management system that provides 12+ hours of continuous battery operation on a single charge. It operates on 12 VDC and can be powered by AC, DC, vehicle, generator or solar power and recharges while in operation. External antenna jacks and the included high-gain antennas provide additional flexibility for maximizing both cellular and Wi-Fi signal reception in even the most challenging situations.

Cell-PAK’s are currently being used by military personnel, emergency response teams, field agents, construction crews and many other groups who need secure high-availability mobile wireless communications under harsh conditions.

The Cell-PAK rugged portable 3G + Wi-Fi HotSpot is available for immediate delivery worldwide directly from Proxicast and through select resellers. For more information visit: http://www.proxicast.com/products/Cell-PAK-Feat.htm
