Product Overview: weBBoat Cellular Systems by Glomex (Mobile Router | Long-Range Wi-Fi)

Glomex is a company based in Italy that sells marine-oriented connectivity options targeted at marine users. The primary products of interest to our audience are the "weBBoat" line of cellular routers, available in a variety of form factors. However, Glomex does not make its own routers - instead, it utilizes rebranded routers made by Teltonika but with different firmware, cases and accessories to make marine-oriented systems.

Glomex claims that their devices can connect to cellular towers up to 25 miles from the coast as well provide as access to marina Wi-Fi when in port or anchored nearby.

Product Variations

Here is the current Glomex Lineup:

• 4G Plus is a marine-rated outdoor dome that contains an integrated LTE dual-SIM cellular modem, long-range Wi-Fi receiver, and a router (utilizes a Teltonika RUT950 router)
• 4G Plus EVO is similar to the 4G Plus, but has additional features such as automatic APN, SMS management/reading/sending to monitor internet consumption, automatic switching mode with onboard satellite internet devices/V-SAT and an encrypted real-time peer-to-peer connection for remote set-up and service 
• 4G Lite EVO is similar to the 4G Plus EVO, but offers a smaller housing (utilizes a Teltonika RUT240 router)
• Link, Link EXT & Link Pro: These are indoor cellular router options and utilizes the Teltonika RUT240a for the Link and Link EXT, and RUT950a for the Link Pro.

News, Videos, & Status

We do not currently have a Glomex unit in for testing but have tested the OpenRoad Mobile Freedom Connect that is based on the 4G Lite EVO.
