Cellular vs. Starlink
Ease of Use with Existing Technology:
Cradlepoint utilizes well-established cellular networks, which means the technology is mature and widely supported. No apps are needed. One button activation is all there is. SSID and password is on the case’s handle tag.
Instant Service:
Unlike Starlink, which may have wait times for equipment and activation, cellular service can be activated quickly as long as there some coverage. Our cases arrive with the sims installed and activated. They work right out of the box. This is a significant advantage for users who need internet asap.
Plan Flexibility:
All of our Verizon data plans are month to month and can be changed at any time. Customers can also opt to use their own carrier and data plans if they wish.
Network Reliability:
Relying on established cellular towers can offer more consistent service in certain areas compared to the relatively new and expanding satellite network of Starlink, which might experience initial teething problems like signal intermittency in extreme weather or due to satellite repositioning.
Low Latency:
Compared to most ISP providers, our system has significantly lower latency, with an average latency between 20-30 ms as previously indicated.
