[RE-wrenches] advice on cellular modem brands

Tue Apr 14 10:45:44 EDT 2020

I just logged on to the Cradlepoint that I installed 4 years ago. I have
not been to the site since then. In the picture it is sitting on an Iron
Edison LFP driving an xw system. Full WiFi, ethernet out to the cell
provider. Bullet proof reliable for 4 years.

4g modem with voice. Verizon used to sell them as their brand, just don't
support them any more. You can find them both new and used online. They do
have ethernet ports, which interests me the most. They will work by using
the SIM card from other devices (jet pack, cell phone, etc.) at least for
Verizon. Don't know about other carriers.

Hi Christopher,  

After messing about with various,
lower cost, consumer-type units that always seemed to need rebooting or
otherwise fiddling with, we have standardized using the GE MDS Orbit
modems. They are industrial grade with a steeper learning curve for setup
and programming. Once up and running, they have been very solid. Lots of
powerful software features. We buy through a local industrial radio
company.

[RE-wrenches] advice on cellular modem brands 

G'Day All,  

I'm in search
of advice on the different brand/models of cellular modems ya'll have been
having good luck with these days when it comes to monitoring something
basic like an OutBack Mate3s via Optics RE.   

What I've found thus far is
from a company called MoFi Networks. They offer a unit 4G, for around $320
that requires the end user/client to purchase a sim card w/ hotspot enabled
from their local cell carrier whether it be AT">Chris Schaefer's
