Field-Tested by Real Territory Operators
From fishing trips to mine sites, see how Tekmounts performs when it counts!
I’ve taken it out through Kakadu and Litchfield, 130 km in motion, no issues, full connectivity the whole way. Watched the footy and streamed YouTube and music without a hiccup. Average download speed was around 165 Mbps, about three times faster than at work, haha. It’s waterproof and it floats! I actually tested it myself, chucked it in the water at Maguk Falls, it floated around, pulled it out, plugged it back in, and kept watching the footy thanks to the battery pack setup. Just hooked it up to my Milwaukee battery and had full signal the whole time.

I recently put a Tekmount on the Kenworth, needed something reliable for long hauls. Been running it up and down the Stuart with no dropouts at all. Parked out bush streaming the footy, no worries. It’s handled rain, dust, and rough roads without missing a beat. Wouldn’t go without it now.

Working the Top End coast means salt spray, wet season storms, and long days off-grid. Our Tekmount system hasn’t missed a beat.
