I see. In other words, you're saying they are not the "always on connections" that work with typical routers.
What about the Clear devices? Same concept?
Is there something that could keep the connection live with a steady "trickle" of data?
I don't know about the Clear devices.
Routers can be configured to allow sessions to be initiated from the WAN. The router is 'always on' but that doesn't necessarily mean it's always transmitting data.
You might be able to have a webcam stream to a storage sight offered by CCTV storage services, that may be a good cheat. Just be advised that using hot spots, the modem itself may not allow WAN side initiations even though the router such as a Cradlepoint (designed for to support a hot spot) will allow it.
