Hello community members!
I was wondering, for those of you who work in remote locations, how do you deal with issues such as Internet access? I just came across this product called BRCK which allows for remote internet access. and is a portable, rugged solution. In your work, do you use something similar to connect to the internet, or have you used one of these devices before? How could such a device be useful to you?

My solution is usually wayyyy more traditional and involves climbing the tallest tree or hiking the highest hill.
That being said, I cant find a clear explanation about how BRCK works and I assumed it used signal repeater, which is illegal in many countries. It is also very prone of lightning strike, which is the reason I did not use it as I live in a very lightning-prone area.

Trying to make sense of this brick product, the link provided is a bit vague. The front page talks about SIP trunking, so that implies it's all about telephone connectivity. And hence not related to the internet itself. Surely that means you have to already have an Internet connection? If that is the case, would not whatsapp voice calls be just as useful and a lot easier ? I've re-read it a few times and it does not seem to be any product relating to providing remote Internet connectivity??? Seems more like a way to extend your telephone network to a remote one for a business.
