- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This is awesome! An outdoor mounted 5G Modem with integrated 4x4 MIMO Antenna that just has PoE Ethernet ran into the house for the best possible cellular data speeds for your home or RV internet. This uses a Qualcomm X62 modem and can do 5G carrier aggregation to get the best speeds possible. This unit has capabilities to work with any major US carrier including the MVNO's like Tello, Mint, Cricket, Total, etc. This video is the unboxing but be sure to check out the playlist below for setup, testing and performance videos. @wirelesshaven provided the unit for my testing.

This Elsys Amplimax is ideal for camping, rural homes/agriculture, RV or anywhere you need a strong cell based internet service. Setup and very quick and simple. You need to purchase a data plan from a carrier of your choice and insert the sim card then you're good to go! Many companies offer a "tablet plan" and that is probably idea for this device, just check the terms and conditions for how much data/throttling they may have. Works with Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, etc carriers.

Does it have band locking?
@@MikeHawk42O yes
Good presentation. A third party modem is the way to go. But so far I'm good with with a stock gateway and no antenna. This appears to be a Ferrari and priced as such. Integrating the modem and the MIMO using ethernet cable for an outdoor application makes a lot of sense. I'm sure it won't be long until others copy. Competition is good thing and I'm grateful that you stay on top of it and keep your subscribers informed of the latest developments. Looking forward to your testing.
Can you show how you do an alignment using that feature? I also would love to see the dual SIM fail over capability demonstrated.
I'll try to cover that in the setup video!
Nate, -22-140 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty good for temperature specifications given this thing will be outdoors. Thanks again!
Indeed. Covers a majority of locations
Thanks for the review! Have you seen anything in their documentation about lightning protection? With starlink I know there are some PoE lightning grounded pass through boxes that have been leveraged to address the lightning concern.
I have not but you can get one on amazon to add amzn.to/3zBLZCZ
This certainly looks a lot easier than modifying the Verizon cube and installing an exterior antenna.
@@user-tt3pw5se9n yes
Hey Nate, always enjoy your content. Could we get a walkthrough of the Elsys interface to show band locking and so on?
Sure thing! They've recently updated the firmware
Thanks for this. I'm not keen on opening up my tmobile box and installing antennas myself, so this looks great. Looking forward to the speed tests.
Coming soon!
@@NaterTater do you know if it has a gps and imei spoofing
@thesmashtvnetwork it for sure has the latter and GPS is built into the chip so I would assume it could function
Looks like nice new technology but as everyone has eluded to, price is high unless it would receive double the speed of my current memo 4x4
I plan on waiting until the full Nater Tater reviews are completed, plus reading a few other independent reviews before considering this new $700 product. Be sure to read the return policy.
Hi Nate. Do you know if I can use either one of the Verizon cubes.
If you mean you have a verizon cube and want to use this unit then the answer is it depends. The ASK cube has a physical SIM (pSIM) and so you can take that SIM out and put it in this unit with specific setting changes and it will work. The ARC has a eSIM and you can't. I don't think anyone has shown how to move an eSIM.
@@NaterTater Thanks. What would be the best route to go with the ARC to extend its range.
@@NaterTater Nate I just realized that I have the ASK cube not the ARC. Do you have a video on how to disassemble it to get the sim out. Thank Again Nate love all of what you do.
@jimdelucia9127 just pull back the silicone flap on the bottom and either remove the tiny phillips screw (or pry off if just glued) on the small square plastic cover and the sim is right there
Thank you.
You're welcome!
This device has eSIM capability, but it is currently not enabled or usable. The plan to integrate its' use is planned, but again not currently active.
Just thought of another one: Considering the PoE hub only has one "out", could a powered splitter or separate powered hub be used with this to supply extra connections?
@randymelton8713 yes, a few options there. You can use the Elsys PoE injector and hook the single LAN port to your own switch/router or you can have a PoE capable switch directly power the Elsys. Verify power output.
@@NaterTater Thanks again!
Are there any limits to how long you can run the PoE Ethernet cable? I'm in a bowl surrounded by trees and only get a marginal connection.
@@randymelton8713 300ft
@@NaterTater Thanks! Can't wait to see further testing!
Hope the sim card from T-mobile home internet will work in it. I just got the backup plan for $20 a month.
Yes it works. Does take some setting adjustments but the seller can assist and I plan to do a video on it too.
This is for an RV that is located in a campsite in Sturbridge Massachusetts with lots of tree cover. Although T-Mobile supposedly is good in this area. I have mint mobile that runs off the same Towers and cannot use my phone at the campsite. I am hoping the antenna and router works well for me. I have a Winegard system that was installed by the manufacturer. It is less than adequate and burns through data.
I'll be ordering the Elsys Amplimax from Wireless Haven. I'll be pairing it up to a GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) 5G NR AX3000 Cellular Gateway Router. Both of those units have dual SIM card slots. Which of the two units should I install the SIM cards?
I was going to buy mint mobile and AT&T prepaid sim cards on Amazon.
What do you think?
@jdo3125 talk to Richard at the wireless haven. He can hook you up with a router to pair with the Elsys and probably a prepaid plan to get. You'll want to put the SIM in thr Elsys.
Ok thank you
Amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
This can get connected with Ethernet cable directly to t-mobile gateway? Am I understanding that correctly? Also I’m trying to understand the SIM card thing. What are we doing with T-mobile SIM card?
The SIM card gets taken out of the T-Mobile gateway and put into this. Then you will need a wifi router that plugs in via ethernet cable to this Elsys to spread wifi inside your house. The T-Mobile gateway is not used.
Could this be used with visible?
@@RobertDickens2002 yes
Should I go with the T-Mobile Business or Home in order to use this device?
@LSBProductions either can work but the business is "plug n play" so slightly easier.
Do you know if this unit works with AT&T Internet Air? I have the All Fi Hub (egg shaped) and want to either hook up an external antenna to it or replace it with a unit like the Elsys.
it should and I plan to test that to confirm here soon!
Nate, correction 100M max on twisted pair ethernet
yes that's correct. I know 100m is the standard rating for speed/data throughput. My slip up was actually saying meters instead of feet as I've had many folks agree than you often can't run the full 100m distance on PoE due to voltage drop, so its like 50-60m in reality (or about 200ft max).
Just so I'm clear. I have Tmobile in my area for home internet. If I got their service I could take the Sim card out thier modem and place it in this unit for better signal boost amd performance?
Yes. There are some settings to adjust but Richard at the wireless haven can assist and I plan to a video up soon about it as well.
@@NaterTater great can't wait.
I live out in the country in KY. Just got T Mobile home internet. My son needs a good ping and fast speeds to game. I was concerned and thought I could never get the same speeds as we were used to in the city. I am actually getting 700 down/100 up right now. I am willing to try to improve on that. I am really close to a tower and unsure which company's tower it is. Think this a product to go with? Or am I just lucky to get what I am getting now being as the tower is 1.25 miles away?
Those are great speeds and you probably don't NEED to upgrade but this unit outdoors likely will further improve that performance!
Hi @NaterTater - thanks for this video. I've been on the verge of purchasing a waveform 2x2 for small Netgear 1000 I have at a remote location.
However - this is extremely interesting as I am able to get low signal 4G tmobile standing the deck.
I'm thinking this might be a better option than just adding an antenna.
I'm currently using AT&T Business Unlimited, which is costing more than I'd like. I get about 30 down 5 up with an antenna inside the cabin (an A Frame cabin with metal roof and side).
It's a two story, and at the peak is an old Dish Network / DirecTV dish mounted that I don't use.
Do you think something like this could be mounted to that old dish arm?
I'm looking forward to your test results.
Hi, yes this should fit directly on that dish mount.
@@NaterTater Thank you. I seriously think this may be the way for me to go.
@@NaterTater Bought just now using your link. Looking forward to seeing your updated review once you have it outside.
In my setup, I'll be mounting on old Dish network arm, then behind it I'll be installing a Ubiquiti ER4 then wifi behind that. On the ER4, I have one at home and at the office and run TierZero virtual WAN. I'm currently on ATT business at the location now, but I'm able to get a 2 bar, sometimes 3 Mbps LTE connection on my phone with TMobile.
My goal is get a solid LTE connection with TMobile. If it doesn't work, I'm probably going to have to go the Starlink route. It's about the same price as the ATT Business unlimited.
Crazy enough - the ATT unlimited constantly threatens to disconnect for abuse if I transfer more than 200 GB. Which is a real problem for me because this is a very remote location. Lots of data use for entertainment and security.
Either way - I'll keep you updated.
Will you do a review on a Chester trident?
I can look into it
Can you use this with the New Verizon 5g gateway CR2000?
@@CR-so1iq no right now I only know how to make it work with a physical sim
I use metro by t-mobile which needs imei, APN, AND TTL to be set. If this does not modify TTL😢, how would you proceed?
it does now with the new firmware this week.
@@NaterTater I swear your a god send dude. I was about to push the button but was hesitant because I didn’t want to buy it without knowing. But for anyone that is using an ASUS router with this device, I found out that we can spoof the TTL packets to 64 and even extend it to 65 for hotspots!!! Only on the Web UI though. Spent all night figuring THAT one out just in case!!! 😅😮💨
@@NaterTater does this unit function like the Chester Cheetah V2? Full band lock capabilities, SA/NSA selection, with multiple 5G and/or 4G LTE aggregation? I just wanted to be sure before I bought it because my signal is best while aggregating N41, N25 and N71.
@@NaterTater do you have a promo code for this? I used the Nater Tater promo code to get the Cheetah.
@aaronpryor1016 it doesn't have the exact capability of the Cheetah. This is an x62 modem that doesn't aggregate as many bands as the x65 or x75 you can get in the Cheetah. You can band lock on the Elsys but it doesn't have an easy way to force 5G NSA (you can force 5G SA). Elsys is adding capabilities on the firmware over time.
My internet has been all over the place for the last 90 days I talked to a T-mobile supervisor and they said I’m lucky I haven’t gotten kicked off and suggested I looked for a new provider because they said I was going over the 1.2 TB and I was averaging over 4TB a month and was “Quote” using to much bandwidth even tho I’m locked in at 50$ for “Unlimited Data “ that’s why my speeds have been all over the place I guess because they want me to leave so there finding ways to really mess with me I’m at 600 ping used to be in the lower 20s can I not sue them for this?
@@TT_LIFTS they are within the terms of service
@@NaterTaterI’ll just have to get the Fiber I’ll probably be more happy with it because I won’t have to deal with congestion and I’ll get better speeds/ping just the 50 to 80 dollars is the change
I have been in the IT industry since 1990 and have worked with computers and programming since 1978 and nothing is worth what they are asking for that product. $699.00 USD. out of their minds.
I can understand your view. It would be $145 in 1978 dollars and $290 on 1990 dollars. A separate 3rd party gateway and 4x4 antenna would surpass the $699 so it is expensive but I think in the range of competition.
I realize I am the exception and not the rule with my Asus RT-AX88U and Sagemcom T-Mobile modem getting 450 down and 75 upload. However, I am still thinking about getting the 5G Cheetah. By the way I was not referencing the price of technology in 1978 and 1990. but the current pricing of tech today and today's tech. When I started SDF Computers in 1990 the price of a 386DX PC was around $2,500 not exactly cheap. PC's are less then that today. So it is not as much about inflation. Rater it is about over priced tech in the day and age we are now living in.
I picked up a Chinese outdoor 5G gateway for $335 shipped that has a RM520N-GL modem (x62 chipset) and is POE powered. Super nice (rough firmware) but much more affordable than $700.
5G Cheetah AX3000 - $450.00 USD
I can tell you from personal experience that this thing smokes that first gen Cheetah...even with a $400 Waveform 4x4 antenna attached. I haven't even really played around with aiming the Amplimax to increase speeds yet.
3,7 MAX so 2024 lol
Just test the damn thing already. Who cares what is in the box
Testing it now! Video will be out in a few days.
@@NaterTaterhoping you do a comparison with the cheetah v2.
@@RyanEllerbe for sure. Want stock cheetah or 4x4 external antenna?
@@NaterTater I think 4x4 gives a good compromise due to the Elsys having one built in
This can get connected with Ethernet cable directly to t-mobile gateway? Am I understanding that correctly? Also I’m trying to understand the SIM card thing. What are we doing with T-mobile SIM card?
This totally replaces modem from tmobile you take sim out and put in this modem.

The SIM card gets taken out of the T-Mobile gateway and put into this. Then you will need a wifi router that plugs in via ethernet cable to this Elsys to spread wifi inside your house. The T-Mobile gateway is not used.
