4G Connect is available in two variants -The Standard model has built in antennas which will provide good performance when in port. The Pro model ships with two external hi gain antennas for exceptional long range performance and is the recommended solution for use afloat.

4G Connect has an easy to use interface and ships with a built in, low cost Vodafone roaming SIM. It is SIM unlocked so users are free to use any cellular provider they choose but the Vodafone solution offers the best maritime performance in Europe.
