You're knee deep in the paddock, tablet in hand, ready to check the cameras on the water troughs before calling it a day but the screen spins loading, buffering. No signal. Dead gain.
- That fence alert from the app? Missed.
- The weather update for today's muster? Hours late.
It's not just annoying, it's costing you time, stock, sanity and money. I've chased signals across dusty plains myself, cursing under my breath while the day's work piles up.
Enter our standalone off-grid node
A no-nonsense kit that can be deployed anywhere and provides you boosted Telstra mobile, solid internet, and farm-wide mesh WiFi if desired. All solar-powered, no grid ties. It's built for blokes like us on the land, practical, tough, and priced to pay for itself in a single season. No more piecing together half-baked fixes.
Just reliable connectivity that lets you run the place without the tech meltdown.
Why Traditional Solutions Fall Short?
Living off-grid means you need gear that works with the land, not against it. Starlink dishes up decent speeds, but still leaves you without the mobile signal boost, leaving you yelling into a void for that urgent vet call.
Fixed NBN? It's a pipe dream in lots of Australian rural areas if the population isn't there. Telstra offering extra data for your down time, doesn't help if you have no signal in the first place. Complaints over poor mobile coverage spiked 25.3% last year alone, hitting rural ops hardest after the 3G shutdown. We've chatted with farmers who've sunk thousands into antennas and extenders, only to shut them down or throw them out when something goes wrong after the install and there is not replacement support. Or the signal doesn't reach the sheds or that back room. It's a patchwork headache which gets expensive, fiddly, and unreliable.
Our node solution fixes all that
Here's a quick side-by-side on why it stacks up:
Coverage: 100m mobile boost + 300m WiFi
Cost: Once off purchase and training or rental
Ease of Setup: Portable, off grid, can go anywhere
Runtime (Off-Grid): No sun run time, 48 hours on battery
Our nodes are built for your reality
Cheaper in the long-haul, tougher in the field. Cameras, IoT, mobile coverage in the header, WiFi network for the kids at home.
