InHand CR202
The CR202 is a portable 4G LTE router built around a 5000 mAh battery — eight hours of cellular Wi-Fi from a unit that fits in a coat pocket. Dual-SIM (eSIM + Nano-SIM), USB-C charging, panel mounting if you want it bolted down. It is the router we reach for when the deployment is "site of the week" — pop-up retail, events, field engineering, RVs, anywhere mains power is optional.

Best for
Pop-up retail and event sites
Eight hours of cellular Wi-Fi without finding a wall socket. POS terminals, customer Wi-Fi, signage, a few cameras — all on a unit you can clip to a market stall and forget.
Field engineering and surveys
Take a connected office anywhere. Plug the laptop in via Ethernet, broadcast Wi-Fi to the rest of the team, hot-swap SIMs if one operator drops out.
Vehicle and mobile workshop
Drop it in a van. Battery keeps it alive between trips. Dual-SIM means coverage stays up across different operators' patchwork networks.
Disaster recovery / business continuity
When the fixed line goes down, plug the CR202 in, share its Wi-Fi, keep trading. Eight hours of buffer before anything needs charging.
