Teradek Node II Global Modem with Standard Data eSIM (No Cable)

Bonding only works if there are enough independent paths to bond, and the Node II is how you add one. It is an industrial Cat 12 LTE modem in a milled aluminium shell the size of a deck of cards, hanging off a Teradek encoder on a 5-pin connection and drawing its power from the host, so there is no second battery to manage on the rig. It reaches up to 480 Mb/s down and 150 Mb/s up on LTE FDD, and covers the LTE, TDD and WCDMA bands used across most of the world.

There are two ways to put service on it: the Teradek Standard Data embedded SIM that ships in the unit, or a physical nano (4FF) card from a local carrier, which matters when a shoot lands somewhere the eSIM does not have a good roaming agreement. Two status LEDs on the body show connection state at a glance, three 1/4-20 threaded holes let it clamp anywhere on the cage, and the chassis is rated from -10 to 50 C. This is the 10-0028-1-E configuration, supplied without a host cable for crews that already carry them.
