RUCS Overview
The Remote Universal Communication System (RUCS) is an edge-based telecommunications grade network. It provides users with:
Distribution Module (DM)
Connects directly to the PCL or existing networks, broadcasts signal in a 1000+ ft radius, and extends that signal across a wide area.
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.
PCL.C
Compact, rapidly-deployable unit which provides internet access through cellular connectivity
