The TravelConnector WiFi System TCS-LAN-5 is specifically designed for travelers and for use on boats, yachts, motorhomes, caravans, or campers. Many harbors, marinas, hotels, and campsites offer either free or subscription-based WiFi service. To be able to access this WiFi service from a long distance or below deck, the new TravelConnector WiFi System is ideal. With the TravelConnector System Set, you can easily surf the internet even with a weak WiFi signal - and that up to 2700 meters (under optimal conditions) away from the nearest WiFi access point/hotspot!
The TravelConnector TCS-LAN-5 WiFi Set consists of a very compact 2.4 GHz 5dBi WiFi omni-directional antenna with a weatherproof IP66 housing, a 5m LAN cable, a compatible high-performance WiFi electronics, and a 2D articulating mount. This LAN variant offers the advantage of using a network cable of up to 60 meters for the connection between the TravelConnector and the computer or travel router.
Impressive Features
Do you have a tablet, smartphone, or notebook and want to go online while on the go? No nearby hotspot or the signal is weak again? No problem. The TravelConnector Set TCS-LAN-5 by BATLINK reaches distant WiFi stations and wirelessly connects you to the internet through the mobile travel router.
Large Signal Coverage Angle
The compact 5dBi WiFi omni-directional antenna is optimized for the frequency range of 2.4 to 2.5 GHz. Due to the 360° signal coverage angle, the antenna does not need to be individually aligned. The large vertical 33° signal coverage angle of the WiFi antenna ensures a stable connection even for boats and yachts that may not always maintain their position or fluctuate in the water.
Clever Design
By integrating the WiFi electronics directly into the WiFi antenna, the need for a lossy antenna cable is eliminated. This allows the complete transmission and reception power of the WiFi electronics to flow directly into the WiFi antenna without any loss, significantly extending the WiFi signal range.
High-Quality Construction
The WiFi antenna is made of stainless steel (V4A), fiberglass (GFK), and POM to withstand even the harshest environments, such as seawater. It can withstand wind speeds of up to 170 km/h and withstand temperatures from -20°C to +50°C. With its IP66-certified plastic housing, the TravelConnector WiFi antenna is completely weatherproof and can be used outdoors even under extreme weather conditions.
A Truly Perfect Solution!
The TravelConnector WiFi System TCS-LAN-5 is the solution for a stable and reliable WiFi signal on your yacht, sailboat, motorhome, caravan, or camper, whether for a single PC or optionally in combination with a travel router for multiple devices that need to access the remote WiFi network. Thanks to its 360° omni-directional characteristic, the antenna does not need to be aligned to a specific point. This feature is excellent for use on boats/yachts or moving vehicles. The WiFi set does not require an external power supply and can be easily assembled and disassembled in seconds using quick mounts such as suction cups or magnetic mounts. It is the perfect travel companion - whether for business or personal use, in cars, vacation homes, campsites, motorhomes, or for accessing remote hotspots in parks.
Easy Configuration
The TravelConnector TCS-LAN-5 set can be directly connected to your PC or laptop using the LAN cable after a simple plug-and-play installation. The flexible 5m LAN cable can be easily routed and extended up to a total of 60 meters without any loss in quality. Once configured, the system reliably connects to the selected hotspot.
WiFi Travel Router - Your Own Hotspot (Optional)
Optionally, the TravelConnector TCS-LAN-5 set can be used with the WiFi travel router Frontrunner VR400W. In combination with the travel router, multiple WiFi-enabled devices such as notebooks, smartphones, tablets, IP cameras, etc., can be operated simultaneously and wirelessly. This allows you to conveniently surf with multiple devices simultaneously using the existing WiFi connection of the TravelConnector. All settings can be accessed and controlled through a web browser and are compatible with any operating system. No driver or tool installation is required. The power supply for the WiFi electronics in the antenna is provided by the Frontrunner router, which operates on 11-24V DC voltage.
