- olex 7mo agoApparently you get unlimited data capped at 500 kbit/s. So that would be a clear "yes".
- kkapelon 7mo agoYou can find something similar with IOT sims. And then you just need a standard 4g/5g dongle/router
- gh02t 7mo agoCare to point me to it? The best I can find searching a bit with unlimited data is capped to 64 kbps for $100/yr, which is quite a bit worse.
- qingcharles 7mo agoI haven't checked, but see what good2gomobile.com offer on their plans if you pay for a year. I'm on the $5/mo plan for my primary cellphone.
- alexfoo 7mo agoDepending on a whole bunch of things but a 200KB photo once a minute might be in the realms of LoRa. You could get the data out for free. The 500Kbps of Starlink would be close enough for a 500KB photo every 10 seconds or so assuming typical packet overheads.
- dheera 7mo agoFor security applications where most of the image doesn't change, 500 Kbps is fine for low resolution video streaming.
