Parsec PRO8MD (Bernese Mountain Dog) 8:1 Hotspot Case, 4x4 5G LTE, WiFi, GPS

Parsec PRO8MD4L2WBG Mobile Hotspot for Ericsson Cradlepoint IBR900 & R1900 5G Routers

The Bernese Mountain Dog PRO8MD4L2WBG antenna system from Parsec Technologies brings high-performance portable communications in the form of a quick-to-deploy industrial WiFi hotspot. It’s ideal for emergency services, rescue units, remote areas, and locations with inadequate cellular coverage. With a set of high-performance antennas built into the lid of a protective, waterproof carrying case, it stands up to rugged outdoor conditions without losing performance. In addition, the PRO8MD antenna accommodates several cellular routers (sold separately), which mount to the base plate.

The PRO8MD is equipped with eight antennas - four cellular, two WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth. The highly efficient omnidirectional 4x4 MIMO 5G LTE antennas work with North American bands from 617 MHz to 6000 MHz and support CBRS and LAA networks. The PRO8MD provides 2x2 MIMO WiFi 6 antennas compatible with the latest IEEE 802.11ax specification.

The PRO8MD’s performance is equaled by its toughness. The rugged IP67-rated carrying case is unaffected by severe temperatures, water, dust, and abuse. Power, USB, and Ethernet cables connect to waterproof circular connectors mounted on the side of the case. The system offers a choice of battery or AC power input. With the addition of a cellular router, such as Ericsson Cradlepoint's R1900 5G cellular router or their IBR900 Gigabit-Class LTE router, you’ll create a complete portable wifi hotspot for mobile operations. This system is also compatible with the Max BR1-5G (Embedded 4G LTE Automatic Failover Router) from Peplink Works.

Mobile and Fully Assembled Hotspots

Working remotely has been an emerging trend in recent years. While many of us still continue to work from one specific location, mobile workers have now become a critical factor in employment decisions, thanks to the digital revolution and the transformation of our economy. A mobile workforce isn’t limited by a central physical location and is instead connected by different types of mobile technology. It is natural for technology companies to deliver devices that are more portable, affordable, and easy to set up.

Mobile hotspot cases are an example of this rapid evolution in technology. Battery-powered and standalone, these mobile hotspot cases can connect to the Internet via a 4G or 5G network through their multiple antennas and are easy to deploy.

Our portable case antennas implement the latest generation of 5G-ready LTE, CBRS, LTE LAA, and WiFi technology for creating a cellular hotspot, portable office, industrial wifi hotspot, or portable communication station. The PRO8MD offers reliability, high performance, and quick deployment; however, it’s only a starting point.

For a finished, turnkey hotspot, consider the WSH line of hotspots from Westward. We integrate an Ericsson Cradlepoint cellular router, PRO8MB antenna system, AC power or rechargeable battery pack, and all cabling. It’s fully assembled, tested, and ready to deploy! Ask about our managed data plans, which include a SIM card that enables instant operation. Speak with Westward Sales to see how a 5G-ready case antenna will boost your mobile communications.
