    Just unboxed and setup my 4g LTE unlimited hotspot. As well as getting some cool stickers and a shirt for joining calyx's contributor tier of membership :D. If you live in the us/Puerto Rico I highly suggest for people looking for a unlimited hotspot.

    A membership testimony from Danny, a Contributor member. We love hearing how our hotspots have helped you, your friends, and family access the internet!

    "Just wanted to say thank you. Without you, 10 people in my RV park would not have internet. This is a really great thing and is a game changer. I've been a remote worker for the last 5 years and bounced around from ATT, Verizon, and now you guys. I feel like I've finally found. the solution and the year rate is great" - Testimony from Danny a Contributor Member. Below text is the Institute logo of a hand grabbing a lightning bolt.

    Need an app, but don't need Google? comes with , a catalogue of free and open source apps, and the Aurora Store, a private way to download and update apps, learn about their in-app trackers, and spoof your location.
