🚀 Unbreakable Connectivity in Challenging Environments Staying connected at large events is always a challenge. Even with network enhancements, cellular systems often struggle to handle the crowds. So, how can you ensure seamless connectivity? Every year, the Llama Networks Airstream 🚌 is parked trackside at Circuit of The Americas for Formula 1 🏎️, right in the midst of over 100,000+ people daily. Despite this challenging environment, we maintain stable internet with sufficient bandwidth and low latency by using Peplink SpeedFusion to bond the three major US carriers, Starlink 🌍, and COTA’s public Wi-Fi, delivering truly unbreakable connectivity. Our Airstream is equipped with a Peplink BR2 Pro featuring dual 5G radios 📡, a Peplink 5G MAX Adapter, and Starlink, all custom-integrated to keep you connected anywhere. 📞 Contact us today to explore solutions for your next event!

We’re excited to see all of our Peplink friends in Orlando soon! If you would like to join us, there’s still space available, it would be great to have you!

Our founder was leaving Portland today after a successful Peplink implementation and happened upon a pair of llamas at the brand new Portland International Airport terminal! Llama Networks can support your Peplink needs anywhere, and who knows, maybe a real llama will be nearby to assist!

Spectrum Internet Is Down In Texas! Don’t Get Caught Without a Backup Plan! 🚨🌐 When your internet goes down, both at home and at work, what’s your backup strategy? At Llama Networks, we ensure that your operations remain seamless even during internet outages. Our unbreakable failover solutions leverage your existing internet connections, Peplink cellular routers, Parsec Antennas, and our expert engineering to keep you connected. Here’s a real-world example: When the outage started, our first call came from Driftwood Diesel in Buda, Texas. Within just 15 minutes (10 of which was our technician driving to site), we had them back online! Our technician delivered a LlamaBox which bonded multiple cellular carriers and restored their connectivity instantly. All it took was placing the LlamaBox between their cable modem and router. Don’t let an internet outage halt your productivity. Contact us today to learn how we can keep you connected, no matter what! 💪🚀 #InternetBackup #FailoverSolution #LlamaNetworks #TechSolutions #StayConnected

In 2024, there are endless options for global roaming. While your carrier will happily support your roaming adventures (and charge you accordingly), a globetrotter should always keep in mind that modern conveniences such as ride sharing apps, messaging, and maps rely on an underlying cellular data connection. Failure of that connection often means failure of your goals abroad. Reading some of the comments in the article, people are having issues navigating cities they're visiting or even catching a ride share app. You may have heard the phrase "Two is One, One is None" before, but it truly applies here. A network failure means the difference between you getting to where you need to be safely and on-time, or not. Llama Networks can help you, your company, your employees, or your customers prepare for international travel with our global data plans. Reach out to us today (hello@llamanetworks.com) if you'd like to learn more.

You can do anything for 8 seconds, but can you stream a three day event? Feature Productions in Alberta, Canada (www.featureproductions.ca) recently asked us to develop a rugged, portable, and easy-to-use case for a cellular router that could also support Starlink and external antennas mounted to their production trailers. These cases and the connectivity provided through them would support live streams of several Canadian Pro Rodeo events produced by Feature Productions. In collaboration with Parsec Antennas and using Peplink cellular routers, we provided a custom case for a Peplink BR2 Pro with sturdy N-Type external antenna connectors alongside a Parsec Great Pyrenees 8x8 MIMO to provide a reliable, rugged, and simple install and removal for the Feature Productions crew. This past weekend, the Canadian Pro Rodeo event at Daines Ranch in Innisfail, Alberta was produced using the BR2's two cellular modems and a Starlink terminal over Peplink SpeedFusion Cloud technology for a 1080p livestream of the rodeo around the country. Looking for reliable production backhaul? Llama Networks has the experience, equipment, and technologies to support your production needs. [FrontierUS - Peplink Distribution]

Looking for a simple power solution for your Peplink? Take a look at the brand new USB-C power cable for the MAX BR1 Mini, BR1 Pro, BR2 Pro, Transit, and more! With two USB-C plugs you can easily swap power sources without having to reboot your Peplink router, whether it be a wall plug or portable battery packs. Ours are on order and we expect to have them by the end of March, but reach out to hello@llamanetworks.com if you want to put your name on one (or three!).

[Backhaul and Resiliency in Less than Ideal Environments] Over the past few weeks we have been preparing to support a two-day public event south of Austin, Texas by extending a wireline connection via point-to-point to a skeet and shooting range. The existing wireline connection and the radio link between the DMARC and the shop (our origination point) were designed and implemented by a third party. The layout looks something like this: Building with wireline connection DMARC <-- P2P Link --> Shop <-- Our P2P Link --> Skeet Range building. From the final P2P location we distributed wifi via a Meraki MR84 to the surrounding area. We used Ubiquiti Wave Nano radios for our P2P link, a Ubiquiti Flex Utility enclosure and Flex Switch for the landing point and PoE for the P2P link and downlink to our Meraki MR84. After turning up the P2P link and wifi AP we found that we were getting significantly lower throughput than our initial testing indicated. After some investigation we realized there were changes to the line of sight between the first P2P link that was already built and, as this was the day before the event and the throughput was not enough to sustain event operations, we had to find a solution in short order. Despite the area being dusty/dirty, not having ideal mounting for our devices, and not a lot of options with regard to line of sight to the wireline DMARC to move our P2P link, we were able to drop in one of our LlamaBox units (the neon green/yellow box in the picture) housing a Peplink BR2 Pro 5G and Max Adapter 5G. We used Peplink's SpeedFusion technology to bond our P2P link with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile data to get an unbreakable connection for the duration of the two day event. While the "just make it work" implementation was far less than ideal, the connectivity was rock solid and enabled the event staff to operate as normal.
