EXPERT advice - Beginners guide to OFFGRID INTERNET (4G/5G networking)

Hey guys! This episode is a little different - we recently partnered up with Solwise, a leading antenna manufacturer who helps find the perfect 4G, 5G and WiFi solutions for you. Whether you live on a sailing boat, narrowboat, campervan, or any other crazy off-grid home you can think of, Solwise has the tech and expertise to get you online! Paddy took some time out a few weeks ago to chat to Solwise technical expert, Daniel, to get to grips with our off-grid wifi setup and debunk some of the confusing terminology and information surrounding it all. If you fancy a discount on your next Sowise purchase, use SAILINGSELKIE at checkout. We hope you enjoy!
