[CELL SITE IN A SUITCASE: SONIM RDK WITH FIRSTNET HANDS-ON]
Cell towers. Over the last thirty years they’ve become so commonplace that you probably don’t even notice them anymore - but without them, your smartphone would be nothing but a WiFi tablet. In past videos I’ve shown you how cell sites can be hidden in plain sight in places like church steeples, or built to withstand the worst weather in North America at the top of a mountain. Today, I’m gonna show you how a cell tower can be packed into a suitcase … and how doing so can help save lives.
Join me for another MrMobile "hands-on" (that's really more of a trunkload)
as I take the Sonim Rapid Deployment Kit-3 out to the end of Long Island in search of cellular coverage thin enough to justify using a satellite 22,500 miles away. The RDK3 is a cell site in a suitcase, and today's video is all about how it joins forces with a BGAN from Cobham and service from AT&T FirstNet to keep first responders connected in the worst of times.

If Ruthless Preemption does become a thing, you are already guaranteed one fan Michael
He needs that deathmetal voice. With that name I‘d like their first song to be on the topic of planned parenthood!
not from the west or the U.S. of A
but isn't that (planned P___hood) pretty controversial topic there Susan ji? wikipedia.org/wiki/-ji
controversial as in.. off whatever little i know/ was mafe aware of.. people have too extreme views on it. Like no 'middle of the road' views but staunch for and stsunch against.
.
whereas Michael bhai wikipedia.org/wiki/bhai is such a chilled out soul🙂
The funny thing is what do they do? Make scathing pre-launch reviews in a death metal voice 😂
I think it's save to assume, Ruthless Preemption would be guaranteed at least 142 fans if the likes on this comment at the time of writing is any indication.

This definitely should be a video series. "Out of Pocket Tech" or the like. While not consumer oriented necessarily it's still super interesting content. I love tech that actually solves a problem.👍
Seeing the how 2020 has been a quite of a year, I think they are smart to produce this kit 😂
4:30 the weight of my responsibility. Good one, Mr. Mobile!
I think i'll file this under - Things I'll probably never need but really want anyway. :)
I think i'll file this under - Things **i hope** I'll probably never need but really want anyway. :)
I'll probably file this under Jesus Christ that thing is huge 😲
i dont even know who i would call but i want this
Unfortunately you can’t just go to the website, order it, and travel states with it.
You gotta apply for it before seeing it’s true price. Remember, it’s emergency personnel use only.
"Ruthless Preemption" for that name alone I smashed the like button. Being a child of the cold war it has a nostalgic Regan-esque quality to the name. 😂
Absolutely we want to see the Flying Cow 🐄, MrMobile. This video was ultimate 👌👌
I worked for a wireless provider from 1999 through 2005 (when we got gobbled up by a big player). I was in the room for our company’s first SMS message test, first GSM call, and first blackberry activation. This video is so cool. I miss this type of work. Thanks for making this video! It takes me back.
A really different review this time, I like it Mr.Mobile, keep it up!
Been a sonim xp8 user for a little over a year, after I realized it only made sense for a rugged phone in my life (I'm a father, hiker, runner, biker, swimmer, etc) and this phone checks all the boxes for me.
Thanks for highlighting the great things Sonim has been up to.
Moreover, I'm a fan of your work, and wish you all of the best.
You should make more of these interesting technology videos, really ejoyed this one
A review video I was NOT expecting from Mr. Mobile but one that was well worth watching and understanding a little bit of how non-mainstream comms operate in dire situations. And HECK YEA!!!! Bring on the flying COW!!!!
Thanks for sharing this info, Michael!!!
This is not exactly a tech I expected from you after so long of videos absent but I'll watch it anyway.
Edit : it's actually an amazing piece of tech, granted probably not for most people.
Ive come back to this video for the SurfShark part. Was training at 6am today, Jan 1st at -4 Centigrade and thought, its time to watch my privacy. Thanks Boss.
We used FirstNet for Drone Operations in Chula Vista, CA (San Diego), great service but unfortunately (fortunately?.. haha) never got to see it in use during any major events.
Hell yeah I want to see a flying cow. Not the one at 8:25 haha. Good video Michael!
Former FirstNet rep here, it really is an amazing service for all first responders! So glad you're bringing more awareness! So many people thought I was trying to sell them down crappy att subsidiary.
You was selling crappy subsidized bs
As a previous citizen journalist who was in Syria one only note i have about this video is that u have a privacy issue with Immarsat, we had some suspicious in Syria that the UAE branch of the company was sabotaging data against Syrian rebels giving information to Syrian authorities that might be life threatening to many ppl, I think this technology shall be under strict privacy protocols to insure the safety of people using it during those uncomfortable times, other than that thank you for ur great videos! this is really gold.
This has to be some of the coolest tech content on CZcams. Love these kinds of videos, stuff that can’t be found on other channels.
Super informative and always amazing! Even though I never thought I need to know this, this really does make you appreciate all the backbone of established communication ❤️
Love the "Twister" flying cow nod. I wanted to see this set in action for a while. Thanks!
Why does this video have so few views? It is one of MrMobile's best ones I've ever seen, and the narration is honestly so cool. It's certainly not justified.
Nice plug for First Net. As a 25 year Vet in the wireless industry here to tell you that aside from 700 MHz spectrum allocated to AT&T to deploy over 25 years you can get the same Wireless Priority services from T-Mobile and Verizon. We all support first responders with preemption and priority services.
Yes Michael we did it congratulations on your 1 million subscriber I've been waiting for this moment for you since you started mr. Mobile I've been following you since the old days of pocketnow and was sad to see you leave but was happy to see you do your own thing
Best tech content. You don’t just pander to clicks, but actually make truly informative content. Thanks for creating
Brilliant, I love when you bring on the geeky gadgets!
I still remember that big honker of a battery view a couple years back!
The true essence of Mr Mobile is this video...Bravo 👏 Miguel
Michael I have followed your channel forever, and this might have been the neatest, most informative and interesting video I have seen you make. I don't often learn a lot from tech videos cuz I know a lot already. But this was awesome and I had no idea something like this existed. Awesome!
I am glad that someone is making videos other than Android or Apple. Great content!
Love when videos are made just to explain technology which is less exciting, but more practical (like this one) compared to the tech which is in spotlight (like ps5)
My favourite youtuber for a reason 🔥🔥
Is it me or did this video not show up in anyone's subscriptions? I just found it in recommendations but I've been subbed for years.
Neat video - I hope you can do more of these in-depth and technical videos in the future.
I love how ethical and honest this guy is. Yes please tell me if you got compensation or not I just want to know.
From Italy, how I love you put something from star trek in every single video! That scene from Voyager's "timeless"! ❤️
rly orginal and interesting video, loved it, and thanks for the hollywood lvl of detail you spend on all ur vids
Very cool vid to watch on my lunch break, Mr. Mobile! I love your videos that stray away from the smartphone norm and talk about other tech. Speaking of, have you ever considered reviewing electric bikes or skateboards? They're *literally* mobile devices so I feel that would be neat. Personally I love my Onewheel electric skateboard and think you might get a kick out of trying it ;)
Brilliant! Thanks Michael - good to see "The Band" forming before our eyes too 😉 Tell Unlockr David I'm expecting another one of his TechnTravel posts to go with this 🙂 Truly the essence of MrMobile, instead of all those gray, slabby things you usually get stuck with (see how I exclude foldables?); YES PLEASE on the Flying Cows & stuff! #StayMobile
Thanks For the really good videos Micheal
Loved this video,terrific edit.
Good one Michael. You picked a relevant tech to share with us. Really appreciate it.
Btw : tech mobility in forest fire may be a good one next.
Love ur research behind ur vids
I just love all of your videos so much. This one was especially interesting
Awesome video here in Puerto Rico they had a lot os COW deployed for month. I will like to see the flying COW and project Loon that where used here in Puerto Rico after the hurricanes.
These are definitely going to be used in a Mission Impossible or James Bond movie, pretty cool.
This is also why I find an FM radio to be a VERY important feature in smartphones. I never listen to radio for the music in the age of streaming, Flac and MP3, but FM is far more reliable after disasters because the range is much greater and there's no bandwidth issue
That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
As always great video! Big fan from Mexico City.
Great content, never knew there is something like this, hope to see flying cow soon!
Glad that Techtober lingo is catching up 😌💯
You must have videos already planned for 2021 at this point. I remember another video a while back which also included footage from this trip to Montauk. That had to have been at least a month ago. Interesting gear, as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Ham radio hobbyist here. These scenarios are exactly when amateur radio becomes so valuable. A handheld radio will get you 1-3 miles of range, depending on your environment (much further if repeaters are still operable). That seems like better coverage for less gear cost than this system. Of course, I'm assuming you don't need a license to utilize the gear demoed in this video.
Ham Radio Operator and Sonim XP8 user here. 😂
Really like the telco carrier videos you do, would love to see some more behind the scenes coverage or carrier tech videos
Dope. nice to know this is out there.
Awesome kit
I wanna see more of the drones and trucks too thats so cool tho. If u put a few of those together do they act like a relay to eqch other?
mr. mobile is like the tony stark of cell phones
Wow, this is pretty interesting! I do wish you mentioned that FirstNet was a US agency - I was slightly confused until I looked it up.
Coolest video you've done this year.
Lol I designed and developed this, which was originally the Empunity RDK before we sold it to Sonim. So exited it's finally got released!
Man I hope someday soon you get to review starlink.
That promises to replace all of this with a pizza shaped antenna. And that's all you'll need. Already being used for emergency responders. But the possibilities sound so endless to me.
With the way this year has been going, I'm considering buying this
Well done. Great info.
Man that chirp reminded me of Nextel! Why did Sprint kill them? Good video Mr Mobile!!
Wow this is amazing stuff. More like these!
Michael, I'd like to see more about this portable cell tech but given your luck with drones, that flying cow could be in trouble if you get a hold of it. 🤣
Bahahaa - fair!
Pretty cool video. Well done sir.
I'm so ready for the band! With a name like that you have to be amazing
A perfect content for a channel about being mobile 😎
Great subject diversity!
Really nice video!
What i don't understand, and here come some more geekness, is why emergency services still depend on old circuited switched calling system's for calls and communication.
In a nutshell, volte is simple voip calling, and check your WhatsApp data usage after a long call, you'd count the used data in MBs, ofc volte is nothing without service, but the combination of volte and vowifi could mean life savings communication getting priority and so avoiding the old circuited switched network's
Love this type of content!
You are my favorite creator on youtube
This is way more interesting to me than the next latest and greatest smartphone. I'm glad you're branching out and making content like this! Keep it up!
I was honestly sharing your videos all social media sites trying to boost your popularity I really tried my man I hope I helped
Real awesome and informative video. Please bring more reviews like these :)
That is some very cool tech, with a very important purpose for it. Nice video.
I wonder how long the flying cow can stay up to provide coverage, I would not mind a video on it if the kind folks at Sonim allow you a loaner.
Cheers
Very informative... Didn't know their was drone serving as a tower cell
But surely those things don't have exactly a long usage time. Maybe if they use something like a cube-shaped accu the drone carries, which'll most likely have in the order of 300 000-500 000mAh in it.
Hey, just wanted to say such a cool video. That's for sharing this technology
There’s not a single mr mobile video I didn’t watch under 60 min of its upload
first time i have seen such tech. Thanks
would like to hear your thoughts about LG Wing.
Seen somewhere in hacking space you can deploy such briefcase sell tower (rogue one) to intercept cell users nearby
Disaster prep tech like this is wonderful.
That's great your out in Montauk point I grew close to there!
Up
Fascinating video!
Would love to see a crossover from you and your band friends, like CZcams avengers, well, maybe defenders, but still cool...
This isn't the Fitbit watch review I ordered. Immediate like!
Amazing content Sir!
This is a very different video, but I really enjoyed it.
Excellent video!
Your first
Noobmaster Gameplay I just didn’t want to say it lol
I laughed really hard about the "ruthless preemption" joke XD
I woul listen to the album ;)
this is so cool I find it difficult to verbalize. and YES PLEASE do the flying cow if you can, pretty please with sugar on top?
Now I know what I want for Christmas lol.
great video! continue such stuff!
this is soo cool!
This channel is the true definition of what a Tech channel must be . Not like other's just unboxing xbox and playing fortnite .
Pretty underrated video.
Very interesting review. It would be interesting, if even possible, for you to review the Stingray that law enforcement use.
_...goes and checks Spotify for "Ruthless Preemption..._ 🙃🙂🙃🙂🤗😇
This is awsome!
I'd love more content like this 🙂
"An area with no cellular reception" - MrMobile's Worst Nightmare
So how does that case interface with FirstNet? Looks to just be a oversized WAP. Where is the cellular part of the "Cell tower in a suitcase"?
