About the Pods
This is a technology developed by the 1st Nations, originally designed for the purpose of bringing Internet connectivity to the Reservations. Indigenous communities have suffered from a lack of infrastructure, especially Internet, and even when some options are available, lower-income people struggle to afford connectivity due to prices. Lack of adequate technology, faulty connections, and underfunded broadband projects contributed to the 65.2% of households in First Nations reserves (in Canada) that did not have access to the universal service. According to Alberta’s 2022 Broadband Strategy, 80 per cent of Indigenous communities do not have internet access at the target speeds.
To resolve that issue, a brilliant technologist and engineer, who is also a member of the 1st Nations, has worked for a decade with an amazing team to design and implement the hybrid and satellite technologies that now allow for the release of these individual Internet Pods. There are also larger versions (coming soon) for households, and even a Super-Pod that can cover an entire Reservation. While the impetus was to support indigenous peoples, this technology is so important, that it is being released to the entire world. A portion of all sales, and monthly service fees, go to supporting the needs of Indigenous peoples globally.
The L.O.V.E. Pod is currently available for shipping to Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Further countries will be available in summer of 2024 and the network will go truly global. Speeds will also increase over time due to the meshing aspect of the Pods.

Important Information About The L.O.V.E. Pods
If you are among the first people to have a Pod, they work as a Mesh Network, meaning the more there are, the faster and stronger everyone’s signal becomes. Although your Pod starts with a small group, it will work quickly, and comfortably for 95% plus of you. And, it will only grow stronger and faster.
If you find a location with little, or no connectivity, please contact us and our carrier can help enhance the signal in the area. Our 2nd Generation devices have better and faster connection. So far, approx. 1 in 30 Test Pods (out of 100) have had an issue with connectivity, usually in valleys; as more Pods are released and Mesh, these issues will resolve themselves through Network growth.
This is a truly brand new, clean (no 5G), extra private, secure, and encrypted Network. As early adopters you are helping to seed this Network. Each Pod is like adding a cell tower, broadcaster and receiver, to the Network. If you are in the 3% or so that have an issue with the Pod, you may return your Pod for a full refund within 60 days of purchase. Shipping and merchant fees are not refundable.
We ship by ground using USPS in the United States. It is supposed to take only 4 business days, we have found that it may take a bit longer, up to a week. Shipping to Canada is a longer wait, and more expensive. When an order comes in, we get them shipped out asap, no longer than 3 days, so please be aware delivery can range between 1 and 2 weeks in the U.S., or longer for Canada.
