Canary Cases pack the most advanced connectivity tech into the world's smallest rugged cases. Embedded 5G, built-in Starlink, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a long-lasting battery, all in one IP64-rated hardshell that runs completely closed. One button. Online in seconds.
Remote sites, disaster zones, construction staging areas, field command posts, and temporary deployments do not have reliable broadband. Waiting for an ISP install or running extension cords to a hotspot is not a solution when time and mission continuity matter.
Traditional portable networking requires assembling equipment, running cables, pointing dishes, and configuring routers before a single device gets online. In emergency response or time-sensitive field operations, that setup time has a real cost.
Standard consumer networking gear was not designed for outdoor environments, disaster sites, or field operations. Dust, moisture, rough handling, and temperature variation destroy equipment that was not built to survive the conditions your team works in.
Canary Cases operate with the lid latched shut. There is no need to open the case to broadcast Wi-Fi or activate Starlink. Running closed means dust and water stay out, IP64 protection is maintained, and the unit can be deployed in environments where open electronics simply cannot survive.
One button powers the case. A second button activates Starlink on the Stellar models. No assembly, no cable runs, no configuration. The simplicity is intentional. Anyone on your team can deploy a Canary Case without IT support or technical training on-site.
Every Canary Case is built around a Cradlepoint cellular router, the R980, R1900, or R2400 depending on the model. That means enterprise-grade network management, dual-mode 5G/LTE fallback, and the security and management capabilities that field and government operations require.
The Stellar 1900 and 2400 include a Starlink Mini that lives inside the lid and runs via PoE. No external dish, no cables to run, no separate power source. When cellular is unavailable or insufficient, Starlink bridges the gap without any additional equipment to deploy.
LiFePO4 batteries power every Canary Case with runtime measured in hours, not minutes. The Swift runs 11 hours on cellular. The Stellar models run 24 hours on cellular or 5 hours on Starlink. Every model also supports 110V charging, so recharging in a vehicle, building, or generator-powered staging area is straightforward.
The cases are dust-tight and water-resistant, built to handle the environments your team actually works in. Whether that is a tornado recovery zone, a construction staging area, a search-and-rescue deployment, or a remote field operation, Canary Cases are rated and tested for the conditions that destroy standard equipment.
From the world's smallest 5G case to a full-Starlink command post in a carry-on, there is a Canary for the mission.
The world's smallest 5G case. All-day runtime, far-reaching Wi-Fi, simple charging.
Wide array of ports and Starlink built-in. Stellar is the definition of efficiency.
Wi-Fi 7, 200-user capacity, and Starlink built-in. Maximum connectivity, minimum footprint.
First responders, incident commanders, and FEMA teams need a communications node on-site before infrastructure is restored. Canary Cases are deployable in under a minute and operate without any supporting infrastructure.
Command post operations, tactical deployments, and field communications where LTE alone is not guaranteed and Starlink backup is essential for continuity.
Line crews, pipeline inspectors, and field engineering teams working in remote or post-outage environments where broadband does not exist and cellular coverage is marginal.
Pop-up retail, outdoor events, trade shows, construction site offices, and temporary command centers that need enterprise-quality Wi-Fi without waiting for an ISP installation or running cables.
No ISP. No cable runs. No setup time. One button and you have 5G or Starlink connectivity available to your entire team within seconds of arriving on-site.
Up to 24 hours on cellular or 5 hours on Starlink without a power source. When power is available, 110V charging keeps the unit ready for the next deployment.
Cradlepoint NetCloud management gives IT and operations teams visibility and control over every deployed unit, whether in the field or standing by at a staging location.
Stellar models combine 5G cellular with built-in Starlink so loss of one path does not mean loss of connectivity. Critical for mission-essential operations where downtime is not acceptable.
The Telarus 2026-27 Technology Trends Report identifies portable connectivity as a fast-growing priority as organizations expand field operations, improve emergency response capabilities, and build business continuity plans that do not rely on a single fixed broadband connection. Canary Cases sit at the intersection of those three trends. They are hardware, but the real value is the instant, reliable connectivity they deliver without the complexity that traditional portable networking requires.
