How Does it Work?
The Roam 5G uses a superfast 5G mobile internet router to create a WiFi hotspot in your vehicle. The 5G 4 x 4 antenna significantly improves the reception of the signal and is omnidirectional, so it will perform wherever you are and without adjustment. Simply fit and forget.
Most antennas on the market are 2 x 2, with our 4 x 4 antenna you will have full access to the 5G mobile internet speeds available when you have coverage.
The Roam 5G kit will also connect to existing WiFi connections (such as your home) and repeat the signal.
Do I need a SIM card?
The short answer is yes. There are many different types of SIM cards to choose from and how you choose them should depend on what type of user you are.
You will be streaming a lot of Netflix or BBC iPlayer? Then you will need a lot of data. If you are watching 1 hour of videos a day, you will need around 40GB of data a month. Double this if you are watching in HD.
You will just be listening to some music, browsing restaurants and checking your emails? This is much less intensive at around 10GB per month.
You can use our Data Usage Calculator to estimate your data usage for your trip.
The other thing to consider is whether you need a single network SIM or multi-network SIM and how important having a connection all of the time is to you.
If you are generally in the same place then you can check what’s called a coverage checker, like this one from EE to see the coverage of EE in your specific location, you can do the same for O2, Three and Vodafone.
Alternatively, if you are travelling around a lot and it’s essential you stay connected, you can have a multi-network SIM card, like our partners BroadbandGo. This picks up the best network in the location you are in.
Since April 2022 both the Roam and Roam X products are being sent out with a 5GB free multi-network SIM card from our partner BroadbandGo. You will need to register this using their app to activate it.
Who is it For?
The Roam 5G motorhome and caravan WiFi system is perfect for anyone who wants superfast and reliable internet on the move.
The Roam 5G WiFi system is also very popular with owners of campervans, van conversions, canal boats, trucks and horseboxes.
Will I be able to watch Netflix, BBC iPlayer or Amazon Prime?
Yes you absolutely can! The Roam 5G system will keep you connected to all your favourite shows in rural and remote areas, as long as you have a subscription or license for the relevant service.
You will need about 2 – 3Mbps for standard definition streaming and about 3 – 5 Mbps for HD streaming which are achieved almost everywhere in the UK with the Roam 5G system.
Music streaming services like Spotify need a maximum of 1Mbps.
