Ghost Kits built a connectivity device that keeps photographers and content creators online no matter where they are shooting. The Spectrum model connects to 600 cellular carriers across 190 countries and automatically switches between them when signal degrades.
Key takeaways:
Smart carrier switching keeps uploads alive when stadiums, conferences, or remote locations kill your primary signal
Bonds WiFi, ethernet, and cellular connections simultaneously for speed or redundancy
Upcoming Kit to Cloud feature will let you offload SD card footage directly to any cloud destination
Smart Switching, Not Smart Luck
Casper Hanney, CEO and Co-Founder, and Cyrus Keenan Eason, Head of Engineering, walked through the Spectrum model at NAB 2026. The core pitch: you turn it on, it emits a WiFi signal, and it keeps you connected.
The device comes with a preloaded SIM card. No bring-your-own, no contract hunting. You buy data from Ghost Kits at $7.50 per gigabyte with volume pricing that drops as usage scales. Because the company holds contracts with all 600 carriers, the backend handles the carrier juggling without any user intervention.
The real-world scenario they led with: an NFL photographer at SoFi Stadium, where Verizon degrades as tens of thousands of fans arrive. Ghost Kits detects the degradation and switches to T-Mobile or AT&T without dropping the connection.
Bonding Modes for Every Situation
Beyond carrier switching, the device supports network bonding across cellular, WiFi, and ethernet simultaneously. Two modes are available: speed mode sends different data across each connection to maximize bandwidth, while redundancy mode sends the same data across multiple connections to ensure delivery.
Configuration happens through a web portal at a local URL when connected to the device hotspot. No app required. Users can change the SSID, password, cellular bands, and bonding preferences. A separate management portal handles fleet-level device tracking, usage monitoring, and subscription management.
Camera connections work via WiFi, USB-C for data, or ethernet. The USB-C port also provides power. Multiple devices can share the hotspot connection.
Kit to Cloud: Offload Without a Laptop
The most interesting upcoming feature is Kit to Cloud, expected as a software-only update in the next six to twelve months. Plug an SD card, hard drive, or non-WiFi camera into the Ghost Kit via USB, and it uploads files directly to any cloud destination: Frame.io, Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, or anything else.
The interface lets users select specific files and destinations. The device reads the external media, offloads selected files, and verifies delivery. No laptop required.
Mounting and Pricing
The device is light. Most of the weight comes from the battery. It mounts on tripods, belt clips, backpacks, or directly on camera rigs via a V-mount adapter. Available for purchase and rental through the Ghost Kits website.
Ghost Kits connects to 600 carriers in 190 countries, bonds WiFi/ethernet/cellular simultaneously, and will soon offload SD card footage to any cloud without a laptop.
