option uses a patch cable (included) to connect to a wireless broadband router, available from most
telco companies. This will provide the best possible connection to your broadband antenna with minimal signal loss at the
connection, and give better overall results. Mobile broadband routers are available form all of the major Telcos, as well as
some outlets like Officeworks, Supermarkets, Target...etc. Shop around for the best deal!
The two most common connectors in the Australian market are TS9 (Netgear, Sierra, ZTE) and CRC9 (Huawei). The TS9 patch
harness, along with a wall plate are a part of your package. CRC9 patch harness can also be obtained from us.

Data Plans
There are several ways to connect your mobile broadband router with the telecommunications companies.
1.
Pre

paid SIM
. This allows you to buy data in monthly blocks and only do this when you travel. This can be very cost
effective for travellers who only use their vans and RV
’
s for a few months of the year.
2.
Data plans
. This is just like a regular mobile phone contract, and will se a monthly fee charged for your selected
amount of data. This works well for travellers who need access all of the time, such as those who run their business
from their vans.
3.
Shared data plans
. This plan allows the user to share the monthly data allowance of their mobile phone contract for a
small fee. (Telstra charge $5/month for a shared SIM)
