It's a "sometimes" sort of thing with my Verizon 4G android.  Packet routing on the cellular network seems to be highly variable in real time ... in the three times I've tried it, it worked sort of OK once, not so good the other two. Beware, remote operation can eat up a data allocation faster

Dean, The use of a cell modem service on the radio/station end is a big problem, if you run any software or devices that require a public-routable ip address or port forwarding on the router. See for example: http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php?topic=2768.0 Search for terms like do

I run remote to W7RN [near Virginia City NV] from Sparks, NV ... maybe 50-60 km road miles away.  Trace Route shows that most packets go through Sacramento, some through San Francisco, some through Los Angeles.  Ping times average about 35-40 ms.  BW required by RemoteRig is much lower than I e

My experience is exactly that; look out for latency; that is the killer.  Yes you need a minimal speed that is pretty good, but latency is a big issue; for example the satellite based ISPs are useless for this; adequate for streaming movies, etc. but latency is way to high... 73 de Dave, W5SV
