Buy the hardware once. Add only the services you need.
One purchase: the encoder. Multi-network SIMs, Lumbus Connect, Studio and extra recording storage are switches you flip only if you need them, and none of them are required to stream. Hardware starts at $1,530.
Section 1: Hardware
Start hereOne-time purchase. Four mobile modems are inside the encoder, so there is no separate modem kit to buy — and the bag is in the price.
Compact 1080p60 encoder — four mobile modems, HDMI and USB camera in
Professional 1080p60 encoder — four mobile modems, SDI and HDMI in
4K60 HDR flagship — up to eight mobile modems, four SDI and HDMI in
- Niña and Pinta arrive configured, with the Lumbus belt pack and a 100 GB Lumbus Connect bonding allowance valid for 3 months.
- No subscription is required to use the hardware you bought.
- Admiral is configured as a project — hardware, connections, bonding and support quoted together.
Section 2: Multi-network SIMs (4G/5G)
OptionalMulti-network SIMs (4G/5G) priced for where you stream. Choose your destination to see available networks and your final rate.
Your SIM allowance is priced by the countries you stream from.
- Europe
- Europe incl. UK, Switzerland, Norway
- North America
- United States, Canada, Mexico
- Gulf and MENA
- Gulf states, Middle East, North Africa
- Asia Pacific
- Japan, Korea, SE Asia, India, Australia, NZ
- All regions
- Routes that cross more than one of them
Tell us your route and we confirm the networks on it.
Hours are at 8 Mbps — the usual 1080p60 target — and include bonding overhead. A lower bitrate buys more hours; a higher one buys fewer. Your SIM allowance is quoted for the countries on your route, not from a single worldwide rate. Baseline rates — your rate follows the countries you stream from. Need 1 TB, 2 TB or more a month? We quote it for your route rather than publish a figure.
- One allowance shared across every Lumbus SIM on your account — the dashboard shows the total used.
- Buy it monthly, or for a single trip.
- Your own Starlink, Ethernet, Wi-Fi or SIMs stay billed by whoever provides them. Only Lumbus SIMs count against your allowance.
- Usage alerts before an allowance runs out, and no surprise overage charges.
Your data allowance includes the traffic used to protect your stream, such as bonding overhead and retransmissions. Actual usage depends on bitrate, network quality and redundancy settings.
Section 3: Lumbus Connect (multi-link bonding)
OptionalOnly needed when you combine two or more connections at the same time. One connection streams without it. Lumbus Connect bonding allowances are bought in packs, not monthly. Each pack has an allowance and a validity, and you buy the next one when you need it.
Lumbus Connect combines two or more connections into one reliable stream.
Connect is not required.
- · One SIM
- · Ethernet only
- · Wi-Fi only
- · Starlink only
- · One connection live, the rest kept as manual backups
Lumbus Connect bonds them.
- · Two or more mobile SIMs at once
- · A mobile SIM and Starlink
- · A mobile SIM and Ethernet
- · Ethernet and Starlink
- · Several SIMs plus Wi-Fi
- · Several SIMs, Ethernet and Starlink together
Every Niña and Pinta includes a 100 GB starter bonding allowance for Lumbus Connect, valid for three months — enough to set up, test and run your first bonded streams. Lumbus Connect is used when combining two or more connections. The SIM allowance is sold separately.
The included bonding allowance starts when you first combine connections. We confirm the start of the three months with you before it runs.
Lumbus Connect bonding allowances are bought in packs, not monthly. Each pack has an allowance and a validity, and you buy the next one when you need it. Packs are prepaid and expire on the validity shown. A bonding allowance is not a SIM allowance.
If a pack runs out mid-stream you get a 20 GB bonding allowance free, so you can finish and buy your next pack — nothing is cut off.
Your Lumbus Connect bonding allowance comes with its own sign-in — set up on your Lumbus encoder, or sent to you if you use your own hardware. Your balance lives there; the Lumbus app and dashboard do not show it. Packs are bought from Plan & add-ons on the web.
Lumbus Connect counts the bonded stream in and a copy out per destination — one copy in total through Lumbus Studio. Packs suit setup, a trip or an event; regular bonded streaming is usually cheaper on Unlimited, and it never runs out. The estimator works it out.

Section 4: Studio
OptionalYour production room in the cloud: a private machine in your region takes one feed and gives you a drag-and-drop canvas, scenes, a chat overlay, live captions, clips and an automatic Be right back read from your own signal — out to every platform at once, run from a browser or your phone. Keep OBS; add Studio when you go multi-destination or mobile.
- Up to 1080p60
- Five streaming destinations
- Scene control with a drag-and-drop canvas
- Chat overlay, live captions and clips
- Automatic be-right-back scene
- Control from a browser or the Lumbus Live app
- 100 GB recording storage

- A private studio machine in your region
- SRT, RTMP and bonded SRTLA in
- Up to 4K60
- Twenty streaming destinations
- Scene control with a drag-and-drop canvas
- Chat overlay, live captions and clips
- Automatic be-right-back scene
- Control from a browser or the Lumbus Live app
- On-screen guests and a public watch page
- Team access
- Text alerts on critical failures
- Priority support
- 500 GB recording storage
- Recordings kept for up to 30 days
- A private studio machine in your region
- SRT, RTMP and bonded SRTLA in
Studio and Studio Pro are at early streamer prices: $99 and $149 a month instead of the standard $129 and $199. The crossed-out figure is the standard price; the lower one is what you pay.
Studio is never bundled into the hardware. Niña and Pinta work without it.
Both plans include the Lumbus Live app for iPhone and Android: the same studio and dashboard on your phone, with alerts as pushes.
Every recorded stream downloads as MP4 — straight into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut.
Section 5: Recording storage
OptionalStorage is part of Studio. It is not a SIM allowance and it is not a bonding allowance.
Added to the Studio plan you already have. We do not offer unlimited recording storage.
Studio recordings are kept for up to 14 days. Studio Pro recordings are kept for up to 30 days. If storage fills before the retention period ends, recording pauses until files are removed or more storage is added. The live stream continues.
Three setups, priced in full.
Every line of the bill, including the ones that cost nothing. Nobody should have to add five sections up in their head to find out what they owe.
Streaming solo on one SIM
One mobile connection, one platform, no cloud production.

One connection never needs Lumbus Connect, so there is nothing to buy for it. The encoder is a purchase, not a plan — stop the data and you still own a working encoder.
On the road, several SIMs at once
Four mobile connections bonded, scenes and an automatic be-right-back, most days of the week.

Bonding is what uses Lumbus Connect — the stream in, plus a copy out to the studio — so most days of the week is Unlimited territory: one price for the year, and it never runs out mid-stream. The 100 GB starter in the box covers the first streams.
Fixed location, Ethernet and Starlink
Two wired connections bonded, a few streams a week. No Lumbus SIMs at all.

No Lumbus SIMs means no SIM allowance to buy — bonding Ethernet with Starlink still needs Lumbus Connect, and nothing else. You pay for the bonding you use.
SIM allowance figures are baseline rates; yours follows the countries you stream from.
One-time and monthly, kept apart.
- Hardware is a one-time purchase.
- The SIM allowance is monthly, or bought for a single trip.
- Studio is a monthly subscription.
- Extra recording storage is monthly.
- Lumbus Connect is bought in packs, not monthly; packs expire on the validity shown, and a pack that runs out is bridged with a free 20 GB bonding allowance until your next one.
- Taxes, duties and shipping are shown separately.
- Nothing is preselected, and no service is added without you switching it on.
- Usage alerts before an allowance runs out. No surprise overage charges.
- You get an itemised summary and confirm it in writing before anything is billed.
- A modem kit — the four modems are inside the encoder.
- A bag — the belt pack (Niña, Pinta) or backpack (Admiral) is in the hardware price.
- A compulsory SIM subscription — the encoder works on any connection you already have.
- A compulsory cloud plan — Studio is optional, and monthly.
- A rental contract or a minimum term on the hardware.
- An activation fee, and no overage surprise: you get alerts before an allowance runs out.
- A dead stream when a Lumbus Connect pack runs out — a free 20 GB bonding allowance bridges you to the next pack.
Your gear works here. So does leaving.
Studio takes any encoder that can send SRT or RTMP, so a rig you already own works with Lumbus SIMs and Studio, no Lumbus hardware required. Moving from another provider is a test stream: point your encoder at your studio’s address, paste your channel keys, cut over when it looks right.
- No long contract — Studio plans are monthly and cancel any time.
- Recordings download whenever you like as editor-ready MP4s, and your stream keys stay yours.
- Founding crews get a switching call: we rebuild scenes and overlays with you.
Build the setup you actually need.
Pick the encoder, tell us where you stream, and switch on SIMs, Lumbus Connect or Studio only if you want them.
