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 worldwide. The Cell-PAK automatically switches to the best available service.

The Cell-PAK platform 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. Keep a Cell-PAK charged up and with the flip of a switch, high-speed wireless communications is available whenever and wherever it’s needed.

Much more than just a SOHO 3G router and a battery in a suitcase, the Cell-PAK is specifically designed for the award-winning Proxicast LAN-Cell 2 mobile 3G cellular router and delivers the same unmatched flexibility and enterprise-class security for wireless communications. It is engineered for both maximum performance and ease-of-use. The Cell PAK is available with an integrated LAN Cell 2 3G cellular router or as an accessory for existing LAN-Cell 2 3G routers.

The LAN-Cell 2 mobile 3G cellular router is a rugged commercial-grade 3G cellular router with enterprise-class routing, security and VPN features that allows multiple PC’s, laptops, webcams, controllers, PLCs, VoIP phones and other Ethernet-based devices to simultaneously share a single cellular data account for primary or backup connectivity. Every LAN-Cell 2 includes 4 LAN, 1 WAN and 1 Serial ports along with an integrated 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi access point, full VPN end-point capabilities, military-grade encryption ( 3DES / AES ) and X.509 PKI certificate support.

hi,
You'd think that if you're in a position where you'd need a ruggedized portable 3G WiFi hotspot, either there won't be service, or you'll be too busy getting shot at to use that service (let alone take the time to set up your new ruggedized portable 3G WiFi hotspot).
