Connected in the Poconos: Donnie's Success Story
While conducting travel testing in a remote area of the Poconos in Pennsylvania, Donnie’s team faced a major connectivity problem. Their Starlink system was unable to maintain a reliable signal, and when it did connect, the service was limited and often lasted only a few minutes.
The RETNetworks setup provided the solution. Our equipment established a strong, dependable 6G cellular connection and kept the team online when Starlink could not.
This successful deployment demonstrates how RETNetworks can deliver reliable internet in remote and challenging locations—helping customers stay connected, productive, and operational wherever their work takes them.

Frequently asked questions
Can you get reliable internet in a remote area like the Poconos?
Yes. Wireless internet works wherever there is cellular signal, and multi-carrier routers can reach networks a single phone cannot. Donnie's field team stayed online in a remote part of the Poconos when their satellite setup could not hold a signal.
What can I do if satellite internet keeps dropping?
Satellite links need a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, so trees, terrain and weather can interrupt them. A fixed wireless or multi-carrier cellular router is often more dependable in wooded or mountainous areas because it connects to ground-based towers instead.
What is Sure Connect?
Sure Connect is a multi-carrier backup SIM in the router's second slot with access to more than 600 networks. If the primary network weakens or drops, the router fails over to the strongest available signal, extending usable coverage from roughly 90 percent of the United States to more than 99 percent.
Can I take the router with me for field work?
Yes. The connection is not tied to a service address, so the same router works at a home, a remote property, a job site or on the road.
How quickly can I get online at a remote site?
Routers ship preconfigured. Plug in, power on and connect over Wi-Fi in minutes. Self-install is free and no technician visit is needed.
