    This might be helpful just to know. Since I'm using Straight Talk to get on the Verizon network. I don't have the same coverage. I only have coverage on Verizon owned towers. You can see on Verizon prepaid coverage map.

    When I used to go out west like Wyoming the cell phone towers are actually a local company that has good fast coverage. I believe Verizon has contract to use their system. So if a actually Version customer you have good service in Wyoming vs the third party companies like Straight Talk you have no service.

    Also why the 24v inverter. I’m sure your hubbys truck will be 12v.

    I have Verizon and my laptop will get internet anywhere. It has it built into it to always have internet. I think you can go to a Verizon store and get what you need . There is a gizmo that I used to get to have it all the time before I got the laptop with it built in. ( I am sure whoever your provider is can do the same as verizon) It is not silly at all , I wouldn't bother traveling with my laptop if It wasn't set up the way it is.

    I'll be purchasing the calyx system next week. Best bang for the buck from my research. Non throttled highspeed internet. I stream a lot, as well as game so it will be the best application for my needs. The top modem/hotspot has the ability to utilize a hard line connection as well.

    $750 for the hotspot and a year of service.(they have cheaper options) You basically have to prepay for the whole year and I believe the second year is cheaper since you have the equipment.

    Cheaper than starlink and from what I've read it's expensive and not always the most reliable.
