The BEAM 8x is a compact, commercial-grade automotive router with 4G/LTE internet, Wi-Fi, and GNSS/GPS location tracking with Ethernet, I/O, and RS232. Built for automotive vehicles including buses and coaches, marine vehicles and pop-up outdoor events to connect people and systems.
A compact commercial-grade automotive router for commercial vehicles
The BEAM 8x automotive router is designed for all types of vehicles. From road vehicles such as minibuses, coaches, public buses, and commercial vehicles, through to boats and motor-homes. The robust BEAM 8i can connect onboard systems and passengers to the internet via 4G/LTE networks. The wide voltage input range of the BEAM 8x means the routers can be connected to either 12V or 24V vehicle power sources, or to a mains power supply using our mains adapter.
The BEAM 8x comes with built-in GNSS/GPS to offer live vehicle tracking, ideal for managing fleet locations and enabling real-time passenger information or location-based advertising.
Ultra-flexible internet WiFi
The device is pre-configured and ready to go out-of-the-box for most applications, and with its simple set-up wizard, you’ll be connected to the Internet within minutes after popping in your SIM card.
The comprehensive Web-based administration interface allows you to manage every aspect of the system, including hotspot portal branding and customisation, site black-listing and data usage limits – important when providing Wi-Fi services for your customers and passengers. It can also connect to external RADIUS servers such as Hotspot System or Purple Wi-Fi allowing you to charge for, and control, Internet access if required.
Fully open-source and customisable
BEAM xSeries routers are powered by our BeamOS-R operating system, based on the OpenWRT Linux OS. This offers a fully open system, allowing you to customise the firmware to your own requirements.
We maintain the BeamOS firmware in-house so you can be sure your device is supported by experts that know the BEAM 8x inside-out, and our free 30-day Get-You-Going technical support and comprehensive online Owner’s Portal means that you won’t be left in the dark.
