THE WORK BENCH
DUAL-PURPOSE. FIELD-READY.
Our dual-purpose lids do more than protect the kit. One transforms into a sturdy fieldwork bench, while the other attaches to create a raised work surface, perfect for using your laptop while seated. When not deployed, the bench cleverly stores mounting poles, support legs, and other components, maximizing efficiency through intelligent design.
The workbench is rated to hold a max of 220 lbs (99.8 kg)
The workstation holds up to 7 lbs (3.1 kg)The workbench is rated to hold a max of 220 lbs (99.8 kg)
The workstation holds up to 7 lbs (3.1 kg)
EDC LID A
Includes its own legs to elevate the datacenter, and can mount to the bench as a raised work surface
EDC LID B
Transforms into a bench using stored legs reattached at mounting points
POWER & NETWORKING
ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE. CLOUD MANAGED. FIELD READY.
The HiveRadar Portable Edge Data Center integrates best-in-class networking and power management into a complete, field-ready solution. Every component is cloud-managed for remote monitoring and zero-touch deployment, delivering data center reliability without the complexity.
