Teradek Node 5G-Q Series Global Modem (USB-A)

Teradek Node 5G-Q Series Global Modem (USB-A) is a cellular modem built to add mobile internet connectivity to compatible Teradek equipment and computer-based production systems. From the supplied source, this USB-A model works with Prism Mobile, Serv Micro, VidiU X, Link AX, and Windows or Linux computers.

The modem supports 5G Standalone and Non-Standalone networks and is rated for up to 480 Mb/s download and 480 Mb/s upload. In the field, that gives streaming and contribution crews a dedicated cellular connection when venue internet is unavailable, unreliable, or simply too far from the production position.

Why It Helps

When a live stream leaves the studio, the network path becomes part of the production chain. The Node 5G-Q gives compatible Teradek devices and computers their own cellular connection, which is useful when the crew cannot depend on venue Wi-Fi or a nearby wired network drop.

Upload speed is the figure that matters most for contribution work. This modem is rated for up to 480 Mb/s upstream and supports carrier aggregation with uplink MIMO, giving supported carriers more tools to maintain a usable connection in crowded or difficult RF environments.

The USB-A connection also makes this version practical across several kinds of equipment. It can move between supported Teradek encoders and Windows or Linux systems, while the broad SIM and data-band compatibility gives traveling crews more freedom to work with local carriers.

For rigging, the aluminum body and three 1/4"-20 mounting holes provide straightforward ways to secure the modem to a camera cage, cart, encoder bracket, or field pack. The external antennas can then be positioned as part of the overall cellular setup rather than leaving the modem loose in the build.
