Episode 7 - Communications on the Road: The Site Host’s Mobile Internet Solution
One of the most common questions presented to me in my travels is with respect to Internet connectivity while traveling. There are plenty of ways to stay in touch over the Internet for the intrepid traveler. Local libraries often offer internet access. RV parks are deploying WiFi systems, and even state run rest areas provide free WiFi now (thanks Texas).
But still, RV’ers are often left without reliable connection options. You can’t be on the net all of the time.
This podcast covers my personal solution. A Verizon Wireless network card and the Kyocera KR1 WiFi Router. For 6 months the setup has worked well. Check out the video, and see what you think.

[...] It’s been a while since I’ve written on the Kyocera KR1 and Verizon’s Wireless Data service. Today I put together a podcast on mobile internet, and thought I’d also post further on my experiences. [...]

Rich,
The KR1 is an excellent product and thanks for helping me discover it too. Mine is on order but in all the reading I’ve done, I’ve only found reference to the USB jack use as an alternate to installing a WIFI card a cel phone can be used via a usb cable. Any idea if we could use this for a true VOIP phone or microphone? Would’nt it be great if you could use this port for a handset and then use skype to talk to friends and family?
I know you mention that in your podcast, but if you could elaborate on the VOIP use, that would be great. I also have an email out to Kyocera, so I’ll let you know what I find out from them as well.
Thanks,
Jaime
