MC-5E
Rugged telematics gateway with external antenna support.
The MC-5E is the extended-range sibling of Morey’s MC-series—built with the same strength, intelligence, and fleet-ready durability, now paired with external antenna support for superior signal performance. Designed for equipment operating in metal enclosures, obstructed installs, or remote worksites, it delivers reliable 4G communication, flexible I/O, and secure OTA updates in a rugged, sealed enclosure.
When coverage matters, the MC-5E gives you a stable, configurable telematics foundation that stays connected wherever your assets go.
