Portable Emergency Internet Kit with Starlink + Cellular Failover
NetCrate combines Starlink compatibility, multi-carrier cellular support, private/public Wi-Fi, battery backup, and ruggedized deployment hardware in a single portable system for emergency management, shelters, mobile command, and field operations.
- Multi-source connectivity with Starlink + multi-carrier cellular support
- Separate private and public Wi-Fi networks
- 256Wh internal battery backup
- Portable ruggedized field deployment case
Built for real-world deployment
NetCrate is designed to reduce setup friction and keep teams connected in dynamic field environments.
Resilient connectivity
Supports Starlink and multiple cellular carriers to help maintain connectivity when a single source is unavailable or degraded.
Private/Public Wi-Fi
Separate private and public wireless networks help protect operational traffic while still supporting guest or public access.
Battery-backed operation
Internal LiFePO4 battery supports short-term operation during setup, transport, and temporary power interruptions.
Rapid deployment
Portable, pre-configured hardware helps teams get online quickly without building an ad hoc network stack on site.
Flexible power input
Supports AC and DC power input for field flexibility across a range of deployment environments.
Field-ready design
Self-contained ruggedized packaging, external antennas, and status indicators make the system practical to transport and operate.
Where NetCrate fits
Designed for situations where connectivity needs to be portable, resilient, and fast to deploy.
Disaster response
Support field teams, shelter operations, distribution points, and temporary coordination sites when communications are limited or disrupted.
Field command and coordination
Provide operational connectivity for command staff, logistics, and inter-team coordination in temporary or evolving deployment environments.
Medical and support operations
Help enable communications for field clinics, medical response teams, triage support, and remote coordination workflows.
Search & rescue support
Useful for mobile coordination, mapping, remote communications, and support functions across distributed operational teams.
Temporary sites
Deploy connectivity at pop-up locations, temporary work areas, staging grounds, or remote sites where fixed infrastructure is limited.
Remote operations
Support teams that need a compact portable connectivity capability without building a full networking solution from scratch.

Choose your service model
NetCrate is available as a self-managed hardware purchase, annual managed service package, or multi-year lifecycle managed package.
Unmanaged purchase
Best for organizations that want to own the hardware and manage their own carrier and Starlink accounts.
- Tier 1 unit-only option
- Tier 2 unit + Starlink kit option
- Structured evaluation pricing available
- Customer-managed connectivity accounts
Turnkey supported deployment
Best for organizations that want Nexaer to handle connectivity, support, account management, and either annual or lifecycle service.
- Annual managed service option
- 5-year and 10-year lifecycle managed tiers
- Nexaer-managed connectivity accounts
- Priority support and lifecycle coverage
Why teams choose NetCrate
It is built to reduce setup friction and provide a more complete field-ready connectivity capability.
Portable and pre-configured
Instead of assembling multiple devices in the field, teams get a pre-built deployment system in one unit.
Operational separation
Separate private and public networks help preserve bandwidth and simplify access control during deployments.
Flexible ownership model
Organizations can choose self-managed ownership, annual managed service, or a lifecycle managed structure depending on budget, staffing, grant timing, and procurement needs.
Good fit for organizations that need:
- Portable connectivity that can move with the mission
- Faster deployment than building a custom field stack on site
- Support for staff and public access from one system
- Connectivity options beyond a single hotspot or single carrier
- Either direct ownership or a supported managed package
Documented testing, not guesswork
Emergency connectivity has to work under pressure. Nexaer documents setup, failover, Wi-Fi, and power-transition testing so buyers can evaluate NetCrate with evidence instead of waiting on informal field reports.
Setup Test
Case-open to online workflow, including power-on, Starlink connection, cellular readiness, and Wi-Fi availability.
Failover Test
Starlink interruption and cellular backup behavior documented as part of configuration validation.
Power Transition Test
AC-to-battery transition checks for short-term backup during setup, transport, and temporary power interruptions.
Good fit
- Emergency management and disaster response teams
- Mobile command, shelters, field medical, and temporary operations
- Organizations that need Starlink plus cellular failover in one field kit
- Teams that want private/public Wi-Fi separation without building a network from scratch on scene
Not the right fit for every case
- Not a replacement for land mobile radio, public safety radio, or satellite phones.
- Does not guarantee service if Starlink is obstructed and all cellular paths are unavailable.
- Not intended for hundreds of public users without added access points.
- Integrated battery is for backup/transition power, not multi-day battery-only operation.
