This note is from their website:
Island Consulting designs marine-grade Wi-Fi repeating systems the integrate in cellular capability, that is also suitable for some RVing situations.
The Wirie Pro is their flagship product - combining a Ubiquiti Bullet M2 Titanium long range wifi radio with a global 2G/3G/4G GSM cellular modem, proprietary router all into a single waterproof box with a customized user interface for managing it all. The Wirie AP+ ditches the cellular capability, but is otherwise identical for $399.
This creates an all-in-one cellular and WiFi-as-WAN system for nomads looking to get connected anywhere there is even the faintest hint of cellular or WiFi signal.
