exCelsior X2

The exCelsior X2 is a rackmount voice and fax router that provides clear voice, 100% reliable fax, and internet access via dual integrated cellular modems. The exCelsior X2 series features dual integrated modems and amplifiers that use two independent cellular networks (such as sprint and verizon) for maximum reliability.

While both cellular networks are in range, the X2 will load balance traffic across both connections providing more total bandwidth. In the event one cellular network is unavailable or out of range, the X2 will automatically switch all voice, fax, internet, and VPN traffic over to the working cellular network.

The X2 supports up to 24 RJ-11 phone ports which may be setup for voice lines or fax lines. The unit has six 10/100/1000 gigabit LAN Ethernet Port for connection to a PC or Ethernet switch. Additionally it can be setup to use another WAN connection such as DSL and in the event of a failover of the primary WAN connection it will automatically failover to the cellular networks. Must be bundled with our data service. Includes external antennas
