I’ve been using a 3g modem for quite some time now. When I go into the field for astrophotography, after the equipment is online\/tracking and the camera is imaging, there can be more than a few hours where I don’t actually have to do anything, so having internet service is a great way to pass the time. I was using a 3G modem (actually forget the model), but then I moved to a VL600 4G LTE unit. Worked flawlessly. Then I saw Verizon had these new Jetpack units, and I switched to it:<\/p>\n

To cut to the chase, this thing is awesome.<\/p>\n

You can connect 10 devices to it wirelessly at once, and it’ll do 4G LTE to Verizon’s network, which is by far the largest. You’d be amazed where I get service (4700′ up in the GW Forest for example, no idea where the tower is for that).<\/p>\n

I just ran a speed test from my iPhone 4S to the unit inside my house:<\/p>\n

This isn’t even the max I’ve gotten, which is around 22Mbit\/s down, 17Mbit\/s up, just amazing.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture of the unit itself:<\/p>\n

I have black electrical tape over the status LED, it’s fairly bright and I don’t like stray light when I’m imaging.<\/p>\n

Verizon offers 5G of data for ~50$\/month.<\/p>\n

I’d give this unit\/service a 5 out of 5 rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
