SIMs for your Unit, on several networks at once.
Lumbus SIMs go in your Unit or another streaming box, never in a phone, and get it online on several mobile networks. You buy a SIM allowance, monthly or for a single trip, priced by where you stream.
Streaming from a phone on your own plan? Skip this part until you get a Unit.
What do you need?
Two different things, easy to confuse. You can have either without the other.

Hours on air are a guide, for streaming in high-quality HD. Stream at a lower quality and the same allowance lasts longer.
Technical detailsHow the hours are worked out, and how zones are priced
Hours are at 8 Mbps — the usual 1080p60 target — and include bonding overhead. A lower bitrate buys more hours; a higher one buys fewer.
An allowance bought for a zone works in every country in that zone. Stream in any of them and it draws from the same gigabytes — no second plan, no per-country top-up.
Need 1 TB, 2 TB or more a month? We quote it for your zone rather than publish a figure.
Multi-network SIMs (4G/5G), priced by zone. Type your destination to see its zone and your price — an allowance works in every country in its zone. 207 countries and territories sit in six zones. Zones 1, 2 and 3 are priced here. Zones 4, 5 and 6 are quoted before anything is billed.
- One allowance shared across every Lumbus SIM on your account, in every country of its zone — 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.

Zones 4, 5 and 6 are quoted in writing before anything is billed. Anywhere not listed is quoted too, never guessed. Networks in each country are confirmed with you at onboarding.
How much will you use? About 4.3 GB an hour in high-quality HD.
Two connections or twelve, the total is the same — they share your stream between them. Pick what you stream below to see what it adds up to, and which allowance covers it.
Not sure? Pick HD. A sharper picture uses more.
The studio sends your stream on to all your platforms for you.

The 100 GB of Lumbus Connect in the box lasts about 13 hours at these settings.
Planning figures at the settings above — a guide, not a promise.
Technical detailsPreviews, your own connections, and how the figures are worked out
Picture quality as a bitrate: Basic 4 Mbps · Standard 6 Mbps · HD 8 Mbps · Sharper HD 12 Mbps · 4K 20 Mbps. As a guide: about 8 Mbps for 1080p, about 20 Mbps for 4K.
Your connections carry 4.3 GB an hour: 8 Mbps × 1.2 for bonding overhead, then × 4 h × 14 days = 242 GB.
Lumbus Studio: one output — the studio sends to all your platforms from Lumbus. Lumbus Connect counts that stream in, plus 1 copy out = 444 GB.
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.
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.
Lumbus Connect counts what passes through it: the bonded stream coming in, plus every copy going out — each destination you send to, a live preview you keep open, and any recording you pull from the receiving service. Bonding more connections does not add to it; more destinations do. With Lumbus Studio as the destination, all your platforms count as one.
The 100 GB in the box is a starter: sending to one destination it covers about 55 GB of streaming through Lumbus Connect (every stream on Niña; bonded streams on Pinta and Admiral) — roughly 13 hours at 8 Mbps — enough to set up, test and run your first streams.
Your bitrate plus about 20% going in. A copy going out for each destination.
Bonding adds error correction and retransmissions on top of the video, so plan on your bitrate times 1.2 for what your connections carry. Lumbus Connect counts that stream coming in and a copy going out per destination — or one copy in total when Lumbus Studio is the destination. How many connections you bond changes neither number.
| Conditions | An hour | 100 GB lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Video only, no bonding | 3.6 GB | 28 h |
| Clean bonded connection | 3.8 GB | 26 h |
| Lumbus planning assumption | 4.3 GB | 23 h |
| Poor network | 4.7 GB | 21 h |
Bitrate plus bonding overhead is what the links carry and what your SIM allowance counts, for the Lumbus SIMs among them.
| Where it goes | Connect |
|---|---|
| Bonded stream in, nothing out | 100 GB |
| To one platform | 183 GB |
| To two platforms | 267 GB |
| To four platforms | 433 GB |
| To Lumbus Studio, any number of platforms | 183 GB |
| A full-quality preview kept open, on top | +83 GB |
| A low-quality preview kept open, on top | +8 GB |
| A recording pulled from the receiving service, on top | +83 GB |
| Bonded links | Each link | Total an hour |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2.16 GB | 4.32 GB |
| 6 | 0.72 GB | 4.32 GB |
| 12 | 0.36 GB | 4.32 GB |
The same stream divided across the links you bond. Weak networks and heavier redundancy settings raise usage; the link count by itself does not — and neither does it change what Connect counts.

The builder asks for your main country, anywhere else on the trip, roughly when, and how much you expect to use. A priced zone comes back itemised; a quoted zone comes back with a written figure.
