Sentry-2500™
4G/3G Broadband Router

 
       
Utility Class Performance and Proven Reliability

To meet the growing need for faster data access, CalAmp introduces the latest broadband platform for both mobile and fixed applications including public safety, transportation, fleet management, SCADA, telemetry, surveillance, wire line replacement and critical infrastructure environments.

Sentry 2500 provides simultaneous high-speed 4G connectivity in the licensed Broadband Radio Service (BRS) 2496-2690 MHz band and EVDO Rev A 3G connectivity with backward compatibility to EVDO Rev 0 and CDMA 1xRTT.

Based on industrial grade 4G IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology, Sentry 2500 features extensive routing capabilities with an easy-to-use interface and comprehensive remote management. Built-in GPS, two Ethernet ports and an optional 802.11 b/g interface with simultaneous access point and client operation allows connectivity in the office or on the road.

Sentry-2500 is the only truly mobile CPE with integrated WiMAX, EVDO, GPS and WiFi! 4G/3G/WiFi rule-based switching enables control such as segregating some traffic to specific bearers and choosing 4G/3G/WiFi fallback order to ensure maximum network connectivity.

Ensuring the protection of even the most sensitive data, Sentry combines security features like AES 128-bit (FIPS 197) and SHA-1-based PKMv2 (FIPS 186-2) for 4G encryption and authentication. Not only versatile and secure, this ruggedized outdoor device withstands even the harshest conditions with an extended temperature range and the highest power output on the market.
