Film crews, TV productions, and commercial shoots often operate in temporary or remote environments—soundstages, backlots, or mobile sets—where traditional IT infrastructure is unavailable. Yet today's workflows rely on reliable connectivity and localized services for camera offloads, asset management, file synchronization, and real-time coordination. The HiveRadar Portable Edge Data Center delivers critical infrastructure in a compact, rugged form factor that travels easily between locations. With security gateway integration that supports 5G and WiFi, it enables teams to maintain secure, site-local operations without relying on unstable venue networks. Designed to support production workflows—not replace editing bays—it helps crews stay on schedule and connected.

DESIGN DETAIL S
Built with purpose and space-optimization in mind, the Portable Edge Data Center delivers an enterprise-grade infrastructure in one compact unit. Designed to overcome the challenges of constrained environments and uneven terrain, the kit packs modular components and multiple dual-use features. Every element has been carefully considered for maximum versatility and an incredibly efficient footprint.
THE CASE
RUGGED ELEGANCE. LIT BY INNOVATION.
Engineered for true mobility, the Edge Data Center includes wheels, static and extendable gripping handle, allowing for hand-carried or wheeled transportation through tight access areas and difficult terrain. Perfectly sized for single-person handling and compact enough to check in as luggage for air travel.
The CoreFrame structural frame system provides a reinforced case frame for added strength and improved rigidity to protect rack-mounted equipment during transport. With its futuristic design, CoreFrame-reinforced internal structure, and custom LED illumination; the HiveRadar Portable Edge Data Center is a sleek upgrade to the standard, boring old rack gear.

Compact footprint for easy transport and fast setup
Visibility in low-light field conditions
THE CRAFTSMANSHIP
PREMIUM BUILD. CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN.
Featuring meticulously sourced premium materials: carbon fiber mast, knurled hardware, and custom rack systems—for a professional look and feel.
Enhanced with next-gen touches like backlit branding and integrated LED edge lighting for high visual impact and practicality, with future-ready IoT integrations on the horizon.
THE WORK BENCH
DUAL-PURPOSE. FIELD-READY.
Our dual-purpose lids do more than cover the kit. One transforms into a sturdy fieldwork bench, while the other becomes a raised work surface—giving you both a flat surface for tools and a standing-height platform. By smart construction, when the bench isn't deployed, it stores mounting poles, legs for the Portable Data Center, and bench.
The workbench is rated to hold a max of 220 lbs (99.8 kg)
The workstation holds up to 7 lbs (3.1 kg) The workbench is rated to hold a max of 220 lbs (99.8 kg)

THE EDC IN ACTION
IN YOUR INDUSTRY
Whether you're a growing startup, a remote branch, or a global enterprise, this solution scales with your needs. From rapid field deployments to long-term infrastructure rollouts, it delivers reliable performance, simplified management, and enterprise-grade features—without the complexity or bulk.
MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT
HOSPITALITY
Small hotels, boutique accommodations, and remote hospitality setups often lack the space or infrastructure to support core IT systems reliably. Yet essential operations like reservation platforms, access control, surveillance, and POS systems still require stable compute and network environments. The HiveRadar Portable Edge Data Center provides localized infrastructure in a compact, self-contained unit. It supports critical services on-site and can be equipped with an optional Mako 5G cellular gateway to offer secure uplink connectivity. Ideal for retrofitting older properties or enabling temporary setups without permanent buildouts, it brings datacenter-grade capabilities to space-constrained hospitality environments.
REMOTE MINING SITES
Exploration and extraction sites often operate seasonally or in phases, requiring infrastructure that’s as mobile as the teams that support them. Traditional IT deployments are costly to install—and risk being abandoned or compromised between site rotations. The HiveRadar Portable Edge Data Center offers a secure, self-contained solution that travels with your operation. Designed for rapid deployment and easy transport, it provides localized compute and network capabilities without permanent installation. When the job moves, it moves with you—minimizing risk, reducing setup costs, and ensuring your systems are always within reach and under your control.
FRANCHISE LOCATIONS
Franchise businesses like fuel stations, quick-service restaurants, and retail chains rely on real-time systems—POS, surveillance, digital signage, and inventory tools—all of which demand reliable compute close to the point of service. Relying solely on cloud infrastructure introduces latency and unnecessary data traffic. The HiveRadar Portable Edge Datacenter enables local compute at each site, with secure synchronization to centralized systems on your schedule. This reduces bandwidth usage, improves responsiveness, and ensures core functions remain operational even if the external connection drops. Compact and rugged, it fits discreetly into constrained back-office environments and can be redeployed as business needs evolve.
HEALTH CARE & EMERGENCY
Mobile clinics, field hospitals, and emergency coordination centers often operate in environments where permanent infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable—but the need for secure, high-availability IT is critical. From patient intake systems to communication tools and medical equipment networks, real-time operations require localized data handling. The HiveRadar Portable Edge Datacenter delivers a compact, self-contained solution that can be deployed in minutes. With support for local compute and optional secure uplink, it ensures critical systems stay online—even in remote or high-pressure scenarios. Ideal for seasonal health programs, disaster relief, or temporary medical deployments, it brings datacenter capabilities wherever care is needed.
