RUCS Wireless
Broadband Overview

The Remote Universal Communication System (RUCS) is an edge-based telecommunications grade wireless network. It provides users with:

Distribution Module (DM)

Connects directly to the PCL or existing networks, broadcasting a Wi-Fi broadband Internet signal in a 1000+ ft radius, and extends that signal across a wide area.

Portable Communications Link PCL

Portable Communications Link (PCL)

Creates a standalone local internet or cellular network signal from any available wide area network.

TekMESH™  Operating System (TOS)

Manages deployments from the Cloud.

Remote Monitoring

Remote Monitoring and real-time technical support.



Compact, rapidly-deployable unit which provides internet access through cellular connectivity
