Parsec St. Bernard Antenna

Meet Parsec’s Saint Bernard Emergency Series Box — a portable, rugged IP67‑rated enclosure engineered for disaster response, remote operations, and field deployments. With nine antennas integrated directly into the cover, the St. Bernard transforms a compact box into a powerful multi‑network hub that delivers reliable, simultaneous connectivity when every second counts. The internal design brings together double CAT 18 MIMO LTE, dual MIMO WiFi, and GNSS external waterproof antennas, creating a versatile platform for real‑time data, voice, telemetry, and positioning in challenging environments. This is not a single‑connection device; it’s a consolidated connectivity solution that minimizes payload while maximizing resilience. In the field, you don’t just need bandwidth—you need stability, redundancy, and rapid deployment. The Saint Bernard provides all of that in a portable package that’s built to withstand dust, rain, and rough handling. It supports simultaneous operation of two separate network paths, enabling redundancy and load balancing so critical information remains available even when one path degrades. For emergency management teams, industrial IoT networks, rugged expeditions, and mobile command centers, the St. Bernard is designed to be the dependable backbone of your field communications. Its rugged enclosure and integrated antenna system are crafted to deliver persistent connectivity where conventional devices struggle, helping teams stay coordinated, informed, and responsive in dynamic operating environments.

• All‑in‑one emergency connectivity hub: Nine antennas are built into the cover to create a single, portable multi‑network platform. The Saint Bernard unites CAT 18 LTE MIMO, dual MIMO WiFi, and GNSS external waterproof antennas with a rugged enclosure, delivering coordinated data, voice, and telemetry across cellular and local networks. This integration minimizes additional hardware while maximizing coverage, reduces setup time, and ensures you have essential connectivity even when traditional infrastructure is unavailable. In disaster zones, on remote ships, or during outdoor field operations, the St. Bernard acts as a centralized communication node that keeps teams aligned and data flowing.
• High‑performance LTE with CAT 18 MIMO: The internal LTE subsystem leverages CAT 18 MIMO to boost uplink and downlink performance under challenging conditions. By leveraging multiple antenna paths, you gain higher throughput, lower latency, and more reliable service in locations with weak signals. This capability is critical for real‑time video, live telemetry streams, and data‑driven decision making when every millisecond matters in response efforts or field operations.
• Dual MIMO WiFi and GNSS integration: The Saint Bernard supports two independent WiFi MIMO streams to maximize local network throughput, support device‑to‑device collaboration, and enable resilient data exchange in environments where WiFi is available but congested. Coupled with GNSS external waterproof antennas, you obtain precise positioning, timing, and navigation data that integrate seamlessly with mapping, asset tracking, and coordination software—vital for search and rescue, field surveys, and orchestrated deployments in remote terrain.
• Rugged, IP67 portable enclosure with waterproof antennas: Built to withstand dust, water exposure, and rough handling, the IP67 enclosure protects sensitive electronics in rain, mud, and immersion scenarios. The external waterproof GNSS antennas and weather‑sealed connectors preserve signal integrity and reliability in harsh environments, whether the unit is mounted on a vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or deployed on a backpack mount during fieldwork. The Saint Bernard is engineered for long‑term reliability in demanding conditions where equipment failure is not an option.
• Fast deployment, flexible configuration, and two‑path operation: Designed for rapid setup in the field, the St. Bernard enables simultaneous operation of two separate network paths for redundancy and load sharing. This capability helps minimize downtime during critical missions and ensures essential services stay online even if one network experiences interference or degradation. The device’s modular antenna system and straightforward interface support quick adaptation to evolving field requirements, whether you’re coordinating a response, streaming live data, or integrating with existing field infrastructure.

How to install Parsec St. Bernard Antenna

• Unbox and inspect: verify that the enclosure is intact and all connectors are present and undamaged. Confirm that the nine built‑in antennas and external antenna ports are accessible and secure.
• Choose your deployment method: place the unit on a stable surface or mount it according to your mission profile (vehicle, vessel, tripod, or rack). Ensure mounting hardware allows for adequate clearance around antenna paths to avoid interference.
• Power and interfaces: connect the power supply and any required data interfaces per your organization’s standard configuration. If the unit supports external antenna routing, route cables away from sharp corners, heat sources, and potential pinch points while preserving signal paths.
• Configure network profiles: access the device management interface and prioritize the LTE and WiFi paths based on environmental conditions and mission needs. Enable two separate network paths if redundancy is required and set up failover rules to maintain continuity of critical services.
• Test and validate: verify carrier connectivity through LTE, confirm WiFi channel quality and throughput, and ensure GNSS has a reliable fix. Conduct a field test to confirm signal integrity across the expected coverage areas and validate that the IP67 seals remain intact after final assembly and re‑sealing for deployment in wet environments.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does IP67 rating mean for the Parsec St. Bernard Antenna?
  A: The IP67 rating indicates the enclosure is dust‑tight and protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for a limited duration. This makes the St. Bernard suitable for harsh outdoor environments where exposure to dust, rain, mud, or splashes is common, ensuring reliable operation in the field.
• Q: How many antennas are integrated into the cover?
  A: Nine antennas are built into the cover, delivering a compact yet powerful multi‑network capability that supports LTE, WiFi, and GNSS paths in a single unit.
• Q: Can the device operate two networks at the same time?
  A: Yes. The Saint Bernard is designed to support simultaneous operation of two separate network paths, enabling redundancy, load balancing, and persistent connectivity for mission‑critical data.
• Q: What applications is the St. Bernard ideal for?
  A: It is well suited for emergency response, mobile command centers, industrial IoT deployments, rugged field research, and any operation requiring resilient, multi‑path connectivity, rapid deployment, and reliable GNSS data in challenging environments.
• Q: What should I check during installation and maintenance?
  A: Ensure seals and connectors are intact after reassembly, verify all antenna paths are unobstructed, confirm external antenna routes minimize interference, and keep firmware up to date according to Parsec’s recommendations to preserve performance and security.
