New Buddy for Desert Racing / Travel In General!!
Unit is ultra portable and lightweight. You can even stuff it in a backpack. Purchased this unit for my Off Road-vehicle so that, when I am 50+miles out, in the desert or mountains, I can have internet access for maps, messaging, etc. Also works well on my motorhome for when we are camping AND traveling. Have not had any issue acquiring a signal in any of the places I have tried....as long as I am outdoors or at least behind a window. Speeds are good enough for what I need. When stationary I have had up to 180Kbs and more. While mobile, with the unit inside my truck, attached to the sunroof, (not aligned with the satellites mind you), I average approx 100mbps. I even run it off of an Anker Solix C300 DC, attached to a 100W solar panel and go all day with no issues, even having 8-10hrs of life left for into the night! For portable internet with an almost guaranteed connection....Can't beat this unit.

Game changer for the remote traveler
This is a game changer for the remote traveler. It is small, light and easy to set up. Uses around 27w +/- average power draw (45w'ish' on startup) and will run off a 60w+ portable DC battery with usb c plug and battery can be charged from 60w solar panel and stay positive charged in sunlight. Speeds have range between 45 and 105 down. More than enough for streaming and video calls (amazing emergency feature).
