Pros
  • 5G with 3.4 Gbps theoretical peak in a small metal box that runs from 12 V
  • Built-in eSIM plus nano-SIM and a second SIM slot for two carriers
  • Wi-Fi 5 and 3 Ethernet ports mean it can be the whole in-rig network
Cons
  • Wi-Fi 5 only, while newer rigs use Wi-Fi 6
  • Router throughput is 300 Mbps, so it can’t use full 5G speeds over Ethernet
  • SpeedFusion bonding and Ethernet or Wi-Fi WAN need a paid subscription or feature pack
