Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 High Performance 3G Cellular Router
Features The Proxicast LAN‑Cell 2 is a high-performance, rugged, upgradeable, commercial-grade 3G cellular router that allows multiple PC's, laptops, web-cams, PLCs, POS terminals, As 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 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 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 modem or router can. High Performance Cellular Router The LAN‑Cell 2 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 Routing & Management The LAN‑Cell 2 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, As, 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-Guard and Card-Lock 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. Cell-Sentry Cellular Data Budgeting System Cellular carriers offer a variety of data service plans scaled to meet your application needs. However they usually impose steep overage charges for exceeding your alloent. 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 2s 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. Key Features of the LAN-Cell 2 3G Router Uses standard 3G PC-Card modems (PCMCIA) from popular manufacturers and cellular carriers Supports EV-DO RevA, EV-DO Rev0, 1xRTT, HSUPA, HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE & GPRS cards User accessible PC-Card slot - easily upgrade PC‑Card modems or change carriers Compact rugged modular metal chassis with Card-Guard PC‑Card cover and Card-Lock (4) port 10/100 Ethernet LAN switch with LAN / DMZ / WLAN configurable zones Built-in WiFi 802.11 a/b/g access point with 64/152 bit WEP encryption (1) 10/100 Ethernet WAN interface supports wired DSL, cable or Ethernet for primary or backup (1) RS232 port for serial modem backup - supports any type of modem up to 230Kbps Auto fail-over between Cellular, WAN & Dial-Up ports - user selectable primary and fail-over ports ICSA-certified IPSec-based VPN client (DES, 3DES, AES encryption - supports up to 5 tunnels) ICSA-certified Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall & DoS Protection Cell-Sentry cellular data budgeting system - helps manage cellular plan caps and overages Supports dynamic or static IP addresses assigned by cellular carriers
