Extremely Ruggedized, High-Speed Cellular Internet
The MCD-Cradlepoint is enclosed in a watertight hardened plastic Pelican case time-proven to take a beating and keep out the elements. Full operation of the terminal can be with the case lid closed, so it operates in heavy rain or sloshing water environments.
External ports are inset to avoid breakage with impacts. With an IP rating of IP66, the terminal is dustproof and can take high-pressure water jets from any direction. Besides the onboard cooling fan, there are no moving parts of this system. Cold or hot weather doesn’t faze it – the MCD-Cradlepoint operates from -22° to 158°F (-30° to 70°C).
