Meet PCU

All-in-One Ruggedized Network

The Portable Connectivity Unit (PCU) is a portable, battery-powered multi-WAN gateway designed to withstand the most demanding weather conditions, addressing connectivity and power challenges in remote and temporary projects. It features dual or triple embedded cellular modems, as well as integrated cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS antennas.

Depending on the version, the PCU can be equipped with four unmanaged PoE ports or one managed PoE port and USB input. You can connect an additional access points, VoIP phones, security cameras or other equipment. LAN ports can be configured as WAN to provide additional sources of Internet connection.

PCU allows you to aggregate multiple wireless and wired internet connections to create a faster, reliable, 100% uptime connection.

Where Every Detail Counts

Two or three simultaneously operational LTE modems allow you to use different cellular providers for bandwidth bonding, helping achieve high speeds even in rural areas.

Aggregation of multiple wireless and wired internet connections to create a faster, reliable, 100% uptime connection. You are always online and connected.

Optional 12 V output to power additional equipment.

The device weighs 8 kilograms. The handle makes it easy to carry.

The shell is made of a polypropylene copolymer which has high mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and has chemical resistance properties.

Wave-2 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi, can work as an access point or Wi-Fi WAN to provide additional sources of Internet connection.

Using the mobile app for iOS and Android, you can read and configure the battery parameters.

Press the button, the device will be ready for use after three minutes. You will be informed about it via SMS or e-mail.

Environmentally sealed connectors designed to provide secure, robust and watertight connections in heavy duty and harsh environment applications.

Operates in extreme temps from -20°C to 45°C. The built-in temperature sensor allows you to quickly check the battery temperature.

Highly advanced battery monitor. Displays voltage, current, consumed amp hours, remaining battery capacity, time remaining, power and temperature.
154 Wh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, allowing remote operation for up to 24 hours.
Power your access point, IP phone, cameras, or any PoE equipment.
Designed to work as a closed lid solution, it is entirely dust and waterproof when shut.

Ports Customization

 

The PCU can be equipped with various types of waterproof ports tailored to specific applications. All circular, multiway connectors are available in the IP65-68 rating range, ensuring protection in both mated and unmated conditions for outdoor industrial use. These
connectors feature robust, durable, high-impact thermoplastic or metal construction based on MIL-DTL- 26482 J standards, and come with options for circular 1/3 turn bayonet coupling, quick-locking automatic, or rapid coupling systems. This solution is perfectly suited for industrial environments requiring quick coupling.

The transversally sealed connectors are fully compliant with the standard and are enhanced with a compound at the rear of the port. This improvement ensures that the connector remains sealed even when unmated from its plug or protective cap.

There is also the option to add an additional port with a 12 V output to power additional devices, such as the Starlink Mini. Along with the additional port, a cable with a dedicated port for the end device or with an open end allowing for self- installation of the appropriate connector will also be provided.
