Node / VidiU Go Node compatibility with Verizon

Updated: March 4, 2019

Although Verizon has approved the Node as a certified device on their network as of October 9th, 2018 ( https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/device-showcase/device/7005 ) there are some restrictions to using the Node or VidiU Go Node on Verizon's network.

Plan Types

Teradek has only tested Data plans, and recommends a Data plan rather than a Phone plan.

The plan selected on Verizon's network may require a rated plan with a GB data transfer limit rather than an Unlimited data plan. However, you should consult with your Verizon account representative for all applicable plans for the Node or VidiU Go Node.

Prepaid Plans

Verizon will only allow the Node and VidiU Go Node to be activated on contract / post-paid plans at this time.

Prepaid plans can not be initiated with the IMEI of a Node or VidiU Go Node, and are not intended for use with those devices on Verizon's network.

This article will be updated if Verizon changes this decision to allow prepaid plans.

SIM cards with Static IP addresses

Verizon SIM cards that have a Static IP address assigned to them will not work with the Node or VidiU Go Node.

Static IP addresses are sometimes issued for larger corporate accounts or specific purposes.

Most customers will receive a SIM card with a Dynamic IP address, and are not affected by this issue.
