[RE-wrenches] Web based system monitoring via 4GLTE uplink?

[Mac Lewis]

Mick,

I'll vouch that the Victron solution works great. You need a GSM carrier,
TMobile works as well as others, AT&T for one. The GSM piece is important,
Verizon won't work with this.

Another approach is to do a Mifi box with Verizon, then just use it as a
wireless hotspot like any WiFi network.

No problems with the single Victron that we have out there.

Good luck!
