Why Use One?
It turns out there are five key reasons why these low-power IoT networks make sense in addition to existing and planned mobile networks.
1: Money
2: Power
3: Spectrum
4: Reach
5: Aging 2G technology
What are the options?
Cellular add-on module
Netgear LB2120 LTE Modem. We suggest rotating a few of these across vacant units. Also consider these if tenant internet is not reliable
Cellular service
T-mobile's unlimited data-only plan for $10 / mo is no longer available. A good list of available plans is here. There are other pay-as-you-go plans available with Twilio.
Enclosure box
Use 10" x 7.9" x 3.1" size. This can hold a hub, a cellular modem, power adaptors for both and all necessary wires in waterproof enclosure that is easy to mount. You can bring out an ethernet cable if you want to use a cellular modem for backup.
