Quad Cellular Bandwidth Bonding
The HD4 MBX is capable of combining the bandwidth of up to 4 cellular links into an unbreakable, high-speed SD-WAN connection. The HD4 MBX supports up to 8 SIM cards, with room for another 8 with the optional SIM Injector. With up to 16 cellular providers to connect to, spotty coverage will simply not be a problem.
Ready for Any Environment
The HD4 MBX is designed for industrial usage. With its fanless design, it thrives in high-particle environments that would break other fan-based routers. The HD4 MBX also comes with 8x 802.3at PoE outputs to power your IP phones, cameras, and access points. Finally, the MBX has the same dimensions as the previous HD4, so it can fit seamlessly into any of your previous deployments.
Ready to Move
The HD4 MBX comes with multiple features to make it ideal for on-the-go deployments. Ignition Sensing gives it the ability to turn on and off depending on whether the vehicle has started. Upon vehicle shutdown, the MBX can also shut down after a user-defined interval, saving the battery from excessive drain.
The HD4 MBX supports the optional SIM Injector, which adds another 8 cellular providers to connect with. This mitigates weak spots in cellular coverage, ensuring consistent connectivity . If your deployment crosses national boundaries, you can also use the SIM Injector to load multiple SIM cards, preventing roaming charges. Finally, the HD4 MBX has rolling stock certification, meeting the strictest requirements of transportation deployments.
