The Transit CAT-12 has 2 sim slots  allowing you to load this router with multiple sim cards from multiple carriers allowing you to select which sim/carrier is in use by the modem.

You get powerful 2G (long range) and 5G (high speed) wireless connectivity while also getting wired ethernet ports for your most demanding devices like VOIP phones or desktop computer/workstations. 

You can also utilize the Transit CAT-12's Wifi-As-Wan functionality to connect to campground wifi in addition to utilizing the cellular modem.

The units highly customizable web interface supports a variety of advanced routing features and will satisfy the needs of advanced users while being extremely easy to use for the non-tech users as well. The unit accepts 12v inputs (bare wire screw down terminals) or you can use the included AC adapter for 110v installation. For mobile use the device can also be powered by the dual micro usb ports that can utilize a portable battery bank to power the MAX Transit CAT-12 (both ports must be powered by 2.1A USB power for unit to function). 

WIFI-As-WAN & Roof Mounted Wifi Options

The MAX Transit CAT-12 supports Wifi-As-Wan out of the box meaning you can pickup wifi signals from hotspots, campgrounds and other sources and rebroadcast them into your coach.
