After eight years of development and testing and thousands of events supported, our engineers have thought of everything producers need and wrapped it up into one clever appliance. You don’t even have to open the Pelican case – just power, play, produce.
Bonded 5G + 4G
With four modems bonding 5G and 4G, the Express 5G has the best throughput and most redundancy of any plug’n’play bonded cellular solution on the market. Use it for 4K + HD 1080p streaming and any production purpose requiring lots of bandwidth and reliability to succeed. We can even bond any on-site WAN you might have available for extra redundancy.
Super fast router
Featuring a top-of-the range enterprise-grade Peplink router, we’re seeing bonded speeds of up to 150 Mbps upload and 250 Mbps downloads (where local cell towers have the capacity available). With Forward Error Correction feature and live management, you’ll have all the grunt you could possibly need for a seamless stream.
Smart integrations
Set your unit free from AC power with both Milwaukee and DeWALT battery capability (use yours or hire ours). Great for remote sites, moving vehicles and jobs where that power drop is taking forever! We’ve added an extra LAN port so you can hard line two devices directly into the unit as well as add any on-site WAN that happens to be available (not required).

- 4 bonded active 5G/4G(LTE) simultaneous carriers for premium performance and redundancy.
