  • How does this compare to existing 4G caravan internet solutions?
    Unlike other 4G internet options for caravans, Out There Internet is a full solution that allows caravaners to not only receive faster internet than any other 4G product on the market, but also have the functionality of long range Wi-Fi, allowing users to enjoy connectivity up to 50 metres around their caravan, while other products my only provide a 10 metre range.
  • What speeds can I expect?
    It isn’t possible to estimate potential speed in general, but that’s why we road tested Out There Internet during a year long big lap, and recorded all the speeds it achieved. Our community also regularly gives us feedback on what speeds they have achieved, which we add to the speed map, for your benefit.
  • How close to a tower do I need to be to get a good signal?
    Depending on the general landscape of the region, Out There Internet can receive signals from towers up to 35km away. We have seen locations as far as 38km away, with clear line of sight getting great speeds, however, interference, such as mountains, will affect it's ability to connect and receive reliable speeds.
  • Does it work in every part of Australia?
    No method of communication is one size fits all. Some of the reasons you may not be able to get a reliable signal is if you are in a deep valley, are too remote and therefore too far from a 4G tower, have a significantly impeded line of sight, or there is a problem with the 4G tower you are trying to connect with. We road tested Out There Internet in many challenging locations and found that it was able to deliver 4G internet almost all the time in 3G only areas, and also in many SOS only areas where 4G communication is typically not possible. So when everyone else has to run up the hill behind the campground to send or receive a message, Out There Internet can allow you to do that from the comfort of your Caravan.
