We use a Verizon Jet Pack for our internet. It wants to have its battery
charged and then be unplugged, like any cell phone. Is there a variety
that can be left plugged in? Charging could be set up to be intermittent
with a timer switch.

Mick,
I'll vouch that the Victron solution works great. You need a GSM carrier, TMobile works as well as others, AT&T for one. The GSM piece is important, Verizon won't work with this.
Another approach is to do a Mifi box with Verizon, then just use it as a wireless hotspot like any WiFi network.
No problems with the single Victron that we have out there.
Good luck!

Hi, Mechanix~ Web portals such as Optics-RE make for easy well-baby visits for off gridders. The prospective customers that I met yesterday aren't here full time so they may not want to commit $1200/year on satellite internet service, but the Verizon 4G signal is strong at the homesite.
Which web-enabled battery based inverter platforms have a dongle for 4G LTE? I know we'd need a data type SIM card & I'd need to live with a slow refresh rate so the SIM wouldn't need data replenishment too often. This wouldn't be as good as if the site had real broadband, but maybe still better than nothing.
So far, I've only found this type of accy with the Victron platform: their model GX LTE. Among the other platforms & hybrid inverters I've found next to nothing, but "the Wrench List is the Bomb" at knowing things that I don't. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks in advance,
