If you’re an industrial water treatment professional, keeping your equipment and devices connected to the internet is more important than ever. Many people use cellular modems to connect their internet-enabled feed and control equipment to cellular networks. These modems are easy to install and offer more flexibility than wired connections. You can have confidence knowing your monitoring equipment remains online. Additionally, adding cellular modems to your equipment allows field technicians to have access to a WiFi hotspot when on-site, giving them the ability to connect laptops and mobile devices for better connectivity when troubleshooting and reporting.
AquaPhoenix is a proud manufacturer of the modemMillie™ cellular modem. A leading option, this industrial cellular data modem offers superior capabilities. But what is a wireless data modem, and how can it help you better monitor your equipment and systems?
What Is a Cellular Modem?
A cellular modem allows laptops, desktops, tablets and other devices, like controllers, to connect to cellular networks. These networks consist of 4G (or LTE) connections instead of cable lines. With a SIM card or Ethernet cable, you can connect a cellular modem to a device. You typically attach these tools directly to your device or sometimes to the wall, where they identify the network wirelessly. A cell modem is also known as a USB modem, a broadband adapter or a 4G modem.
Modems ensure your equipment remains online and internet-connected at all times. It also provides secure and high-speed data transfer for cloud-based reporting software tools.
