Obviously , in such scenarios , there are no guarantees . If no signal exists , VanConnect can ’ t magically provide one . But according to Evert , who developed this product , the antenna is sensitive enough to receive what scraps of a signal might exist , even if your mobile phone claims there is no signal to be found .
“ I refer to those areas as ‘ limbo land ’, where you ' re standing on the biggest rock , holding your phone in the air , and still only getting one bar of reception . Even in those spots , VanConnect can achieve 25 to 30 per cent signal strength , meaning you can stay connected and continue using the internet .”

STARLINK INTEGRATION KIT
Of course , Starlink remains the ultimate internet connectivity solution for many people , and for good reason . However , with all your eggs in the Starlink basket , you will encounter some limitations . For example , it requires 240V power ( unless you purchase a dedicated power supply such as the Cosmo or use an inverter , which is inefficient ), and it also requires an unobstructed view of the sky . Further , Starlink routers can be quite power-hungry , while the monthly subscription fee of $ 195 per month is quite hefty .
That ’ s where VanConnect comes in . It effectively offers the best of both worlds : it allows you to have a 4G or 5G internet connection and , with the addition of Cowfish ’ s Starlink Integration Kit , you can have a 12V Starlink connection running through the VanConnect router as well . The benefit : you can pick and choose when to run Starlink and when to simply rely on mobile data .
