Remote Control Anywhere: New Device Defies Network Outages
9 Feb
Summary
- Device offers persistent remote control via Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and 5G RedCap.
- Local SSID broadcast enables on-site management without internet access.
- Internal 64 GB eMMC storage supports multiple OS images for quick recovery.
The GL.iNet Comet 5G is designed to provide continuous remote computer control, even in challenging network conditions. It features a robust failover system that seamlessly switches between wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and cellular connectivity.
This multi-network approach ensures the device remains accessible during network outages or in restricted environments like air-gapped facilities. The cellular component utilizes 5G RedCap for efficient connectivity. For situations entirely without internet, the Comet 5G can broadcast its own local SSID, establishing a direct wireless link for nearby administrators.
Enhanced with 64 GB of eMMC internal storage, the device can host multiple operating system images, improving recovery times after system failures. While it lacks microSD expansion and eSIM support, the Comet 5G offers a touchscreen and HDMI port for direct interaction, reinforcing its utility for IT professionals and homelab users.
