What Our Customers Are Saying

  • "...so much faster than our old router - thank you!"
  • "We switched from your competition and are so much happier with your X1 Pro"
  • "I love the X1 Pro... I put it in bridge mode and run all my cameras off of it"
  • "...switched from DSL which was maybe 10Mbps down and less than 1 up... on the X1 Pro we get 240Mbps down 45Mbps up - Wow!!!"
  • "without any configuration in an area with 2 bars of mobile signal I was getting average speeds of about 35Mbs, maxing out around 60Mbs and the worst about 9Mbs.  After installing the Antenna I have an average speed above 130Mbswith a peak so far of 196Mbs and the worst performance being around 60Mbs. The connection is stable and I finally feel like have decent internet again."
  • "...unlike the others, your X1 has a very smooth and responsive user interface"
  • "...yours was the only one that worked, the others didn't. I threw the other modems in the bin"
  • "I am up to 12 km from the Optus tower... On a clear day I can just see it. I tried the WIFI router [X1 Pro] just out of the box and it seemed to have reasonably good performance. I then installed the antenna... The system is amazing I get 50 Mbs on download and about 30 Mbs on upload. Seems to work really well in all conditions. It actually works better than my broadband in Canberra. I have used it mainly for video conferencing and streamed a few things and the speeds are amazing."
  • "Your X1 has been great...worth every penny!"

Detailed Examples of How You Can Use Our Devices

Fast WiFi On The Move

Whether you're travelling by car, caravan, boat, semi-truck, or even an emergency service vehicle, our Telco X1 Pro has got you covered. Our expert electricians can connect the X1 Pro to your vehicle's power source, be it the cigarette lighter, inverter, or directly into the ignition loop. With the X1 Pro installed, you'll have fast WiFi that everyone onboard can use, essentially creating your very own moving hotspot!

Remote Work Sites

Maintaining a connected and secure environment is vital for a happy and efficient workforce. The X1 Pro helps achieve this by extending reliable internet service to areas beyond the reach of most other routers, ensuring seamless operation of safety systems such as remote surveillance cameras. This makes it a cost-effective and trustworthy solution for remote and rural locations with poor 3G or 4G signal, providing the necessary connectivity to maintain safety and productivity.

Business Use

For businesses that depend on stable internet connections for tasks such as processing payments, offering guest entertainment, or ensuring smooth back-office operations, any downtime is detrimental. This is where the X1 Pro comes in handy. It provides a secure, ultra-low latency, and high-speed connection, making it ideal for your main internet source where DSL, cable, or NBN connections are slow or non-existent. Additionally, it can serve as a reliable backup to your landline services, ensuring that your business runs smoothly at all times.

Home Office or Small Business Branch

The X1 Pro is our top-tier 4G modem router, offering a reliable and remarkably fast internet connection that outshines competitors. It's the perfect choice when NBN is out of reach or underperforming. The robust WiFi signal is capable of covering a home or small office, spanning up to 275 square meters indoors, and can support up to 150 users.

Real Performance Results

We're not about spinning yarns. A lot of other brands like to highlight the top speeds their devices can theoretically reach. While there's a bit of truth to that, we think it's more honest and helpful to show you what our device can do in everyday conditions. Here's a look at how our device performs in the real world.

Just a heads up

The performance of the modem can change based on the quality of your signal and other variables, like the data plan of your SIM and how busy the network is. Even though our modem is pretty powerful, it can't work miracles with an extremely poor signal. You can check the strength of your signal on your device (head to the Mobile Status page) for personalised advice on how to boost it. If you have any questions about picking a modem, we recommend getting a Site Survey. This way, we can pinpoint any signal issues at your location and recommend solutions that are guaranteed to work.


G'day to TelcOS Melaleuca: The Operating System for our Modem Routers

Right here at Telco Antennas, we've put our heart into crafting the finest operating system for our modem routers, all from our base in Brisbane. Because we're in charge of both the hardware and the software, we can bring you features that work so smoothly, they'll feel like magic. And our local team? They're geared up to provide top-notch support, because we built this system from the ground up and know it like the back of our hand. Here are a few stand-out features of our operating system:

 

Quick Setup

Starting up is a breeze with our brand new Quick Setup wizard.

 

We're Serious About Signal

TelcOS Melaleuca has a powerful signal graphing system that shows you signal over time. Some modems have a similar feature, but it only shows you the past few minutes. Our modem lets you graph signal for a whopping 24 hours and beyond - and the icing on the cake? You can download the data as a CSV file and pop it into Exel, Tableau or other software to dive into the data if you need to! By the way, this feature is designed to work great on phone screens as well, so whether you're on the roof aligning the antenna, or in the data centre performing band locking, you will see the effect of what you did in real time, allowing you to optimise your signal effortlessly!

Accurate Signal Information, Not Just 'Bars'

Our TelcOS Melaleuca doesn't just show you signal strength through vague 'bars'. Instead, it provides real, accurate metrics and easy-to-understand explanations of what they mean. This means you have all the knowledge you need to optimise your setup right at your fingertips. No more guessing - just clear, precise information.

 

Band Locking

With our system, you have the power to secure the best frequency bands in your area. It's like tuning your radio, but for your X1 Pro router! This means you get the most reliable and speedy internet connection possible. Please note, locking only to 5G-NR NSA bands isn't possible, as 4G is required to establish the initial connection.

 

Bridge Mode

Also known as Passthrough Mode, this setting allows you to share the mobile network IP address settings with a connected device. This is ideal if you're integrating your system with industrial firewalls or other network appliances. It's a bit like giving your connected device a supercharged direct internet connection.

Attention Optus Fixed Wireless Customers

 

Optus is not allowing third party devices to access their Fixed Wireless network which uses the APN LTEBROADBAND.  Only Optus branded devices can access the LTEBROADBAND network.  Unfortunately this means you cannot use a Telco X1 Pro to access this closed network.  The Optus Mobile Data network, however, does allow third party devices, so the Telco X1 Pro can be used on that network.  For details please see the Optus Critical Information Summary under Equipment Needs.
