Rescue 42, Inc. has announced the launch of the miniNSD AiO (All-in-One), a compact deployable cell site designed to enhance connectivity for Verizon customers. This innovative device integrates a cell tower, Wi-Fi access point, and high-speed Internet capabilities into a single, portable unit.
Weighing 50 pounds, the weatherproof miniNSD AiO includes essential components such as a cell tower radio, Starlink Mini satellite panel, removable LiFePO4 batteries, power supply, battery charger, cooling fans, and a Cradlepoint router. It operates on both 120VAC and 12VDC power sources, offering flexibility for various operational environments.
The miniNSD™ AiO is an “Open Architecture” device that accommodates a cell tower radio (eNodeB) from any network. The first model utilizes the Verizon® Network Extender 3 for Enterprise (NE3), which customers can purchase directly from Verizon or pre-installed through Rescue 42. Note that the miniNSD™ AiO is not a Verizon product; instead, it enhances the functionality of the customer-owned NE3 to create a portable cell site that serves up to 64 users within a half-mile bubble.
Key features of the miniNSD AiO include:
- Flexible Connectivity Options: Users can share Verizon connectivity with any Verizon customer or restrict access to a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) via the Verizon “My Business” portal.
- Wi-Fi and ISP Capabilities: The onboard Cradlepoint router allows for Wi-Fi calling for devices on other networks and provides wired Internet access, enabling connectivity for Incident Command vehicles and restoring Internet to buildings.
- Versatile Applications: Originally designed for emergency response, the miniNSD AiO is suitable for various sectors, including business continuity, disaster recovery, utilities, agriculture, and remote offices.
The cost for the miniNSD AiO is $12,995 for those who own an NE3, and $13,995 for those who require a unit installed with NE3 from Rescue 42.
