OutdoorRouter.com is a UK-based company with manufacturing in China that sells a variety of outdoor and indoor cellular router solutions for a variety of markets, including the United States.
The current product line consists of outdoor and indoor router lines with Cat-4, Cat-6, and Cat-12 modem options.
The company also sells accessories such as alternative antennas and POE injectors.
For firmware, these routers use a modified version of OpenWRT called OpenEzen.
Product Variations
The outdoor unit is in an IP-67 rated exterior enclosure, comes with external cellular and a Wi-Fi antenna, and is powered via POE (Power Over Ethernet).
The indoor router uses a standard form-factor and includes 2x antenna ports each for both cellular and Wi-Fi.
A "solar" version is also available that comes in a different enclosure with an integrated battery bank that promises two days of power and is designed to be recharged with a solar panel (which is not included). The electronics is the same as the standard outdoor unit.
