The short answer is yes. There are many different types of SIM cards to choose from and how you choose them should depend on what type of user you are. You will be streaming a lot of Netflix or BBC iPlayer? Then you will need a lot of data. If you are watching 1 hour of videos a day, you will need around 40GB of data a month. Double this if you are watching in HD. You will just be listening to some music, browsing restaurants and checking your emails? This is much less intensive at around 10GB per month. You can use a data calculator like this one from Tesco to estimate your data usage. The other thing to consider is whether you need a single network SIM or multi-network SIM and how important having a connection all of the time is to you. If you are generally in the same place then you can check what’s called a coverage checker, like this one from EE to see the coverage of EE in your specific location, you can do the same for O2, Three and Vodafone. Alternatively, if you are travelling around a lot and it’s essential you stay connected, you can have a multi-network SIM card, like our partners BroadbandGo. This picks up the best network in the location you are in. Since April 2022 both the Roam and Roam X products are being sent out with a 5GB free multi-network SIM card from our partner BroadbandGo. You will need to register this using their app to activate it. The main difference is the speed capability of the router. The Roam X is a CAT6 router which means maximum speeds are 300 megabytes per second compared to 150 megabytes per second on the Roam. The other difference is the capability to handle multiple heavy user simultaneously. Yes, it will work in Europe. The Roam works across the UK and Europe but this is dependent on data provider and contract. Due to Brexit there are some restrictions on how much data you can use with your UK sim card in Europe, we go into more detail about this in our SIM card article. The Roam antenna is 5G ready and compatible with all 5G frequency bands as standard so it’s ready when this new technology arrives in rural and remote areas. The router itself uses 3G and 4G. At the moment, the speeds which can be obained using our 3G/4G router and our antenna are sufficient for all every day uses of the internet, from checking emails to streaming Netflix or BBC iPlayer in HD. 5G is largely intended for futuristic technologies such as self-driving cars. If you are interested to learn more about the subject you can read our expert-written article on 5G here. Yes you can, you can read our guide on how to do this here.
Yes, absolutely. You will be able to connect to the WiFi connection with your smart devices in the same way you connect them to your router at home. It’s worth bearing in mind that the router will need to be continually powered for the WiFi connection to remain on, so if you are checking WiFi CCTV cameras then the router will need to be on also when you are not there. This may come down to what battery you have installed. Our Roam bracket gives you the flexibility to mount your Antenna anywhere on your roof without entering the cables directly below. This allows you to route the cables to your preferred location. This can be found here. We also sell extension leads. They can be found here.
