Proxicast PocketPORT - Model 2 -Pocket-Sized 3G/4G/LTE USB Cellular Modem Bridge Mini Router

PocketPORT 2 is the World’s Smallest 3G/4G/LTE USB Cellular Modem to Ethernet Bridge/Router
Use a 3G/4G enabled PocketPORT 2 wherever wired Internet service is unavailable, difficult, costly or time-consuming to install. Plug a PocketPORT 2 into the Ethernet port of devices such as IP cameras (web cams) for security applications, programmable logic controllers (PLC) for industrial processes, digital & network video recorders (DVR/NVR) or any other equipment that needs Internet service for remote access. Have field service technicians keep a PocketPORT 2 in their “pocket” for instant 3G/4G Internet access for remote equipment when they are on site visits.

The PocketPORT 2 can also create a fully encrypted "virtual cable" VPN link between two Ethernet devices over the Internet, using standard 3G/4G cellular USB modems. The PocketPORT 2 contains a powerful VPN controller that is capable of establishing transparent peer-to-peer connections from behind firewalls. It acts just like a very long virtual Ethernet cable.  Virtual cable mode can be configured either as point-to-point or point-to-multi-point connections.
