Notes
Rapid Radios calls the G1 its flagship radio. It ships with a pre-installed multi-carrier IoT SIM (Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile) and a first year of nationwide service, renewable at $50 a year; groups take up to 200 users. A car/base unit is also offered. The product page states a battery capacity of 8800 mAh for a 165 g radio, which is not plausible, so the battery field is left empty; it also gives the size as 2 x 7 x 2 in, which does not match the 132 x 59 x 33 mm used here. The page lists FCC ID 2BD8I-G1, but the FCC records (fccid.io, fcc.report and the FCC's own search) could not be checked, so the grant is not recorded as an approval. The page does not name the hardware maker.
