StellarMate includes a Gigabit (1000Mb/s) Ethernet port. You can connect StellarMate to your home router. Alternatively, you can also directly connect StellarMate to your PC/Mac.

This can be done using a regular Ethernet cable, at home or in the field. Wired connections are very fast and highly reliable.
