Product Variations

The outdoor unit is in an IP-67 rated exterior enclosure, comes with external cellular and a Wi-Fi antenna, and is powered via POE (Power Over Ethernet).

The indoor router uses a standard form-factor and includes 2x antenna ports each for both cellular and Wi-Fi.

A "solar" version is also available that comes in a different enclosure with an integrated battery bank that promises two days of power and is designed to be recharged with a solar panel (which is not included). The electronics is the same as the standard outdoor unit.
