Network Coverage
One of the main advantages of using a cellular telephone network is being able
to set up a communications link to a data logger virtually anywhere without
installing telephone lines. However, this only applies if your installation site is
covered by a suitable NextG network.
Before purchasing a NextG modem it is recommended that the coverage is
tested on site by using a NextG handset with the same service provider, and
measuring the exact signal strength.
