Good guess! This is my work desk, it's one of our core products, an industrial cellular data logger with a range of features. Usually housed in a large stainless steel enclosure with solar panel and battery. This is a "naked" one on my desk, and the black plastic box to the right of it is a glorified place to mount my buttons and switches for it. The white thing on the left is a temp sensor made in house, with solar radiation shields so it isn't affected by the direct sunlight.

Usually used for serious solutions, our desk ones are for fun/testing, i.e. there's a sensor on the front door that connects to this via UHF radio, when the door opens the logger flashes the LED for 5sec. We design and build these in house, we have our own SMD plant.
