A Day in the Life of an OptConnect Device
You can’t always be monitoring, managing, or working on your cellular devices; you have other things to worry about and simply want consistent and reliable connectivity. OptConnect as a managed service takes care of getting and keeping you connected, so you can focus on your business.
With this in mind, let’s walk through a hypothetical first day of your OptConnect device, highlighting its functionality and performance that you may not be aware of.
Security at OptConnect
Security and data/network integrity are some of the
most critical aspects of connectivity, but also one of
the most difficult to navigate. As a managed service
provider, OptConnect understands this, making
security a core focus for our business.
Here are a few of the ways OptConnect helps ensure the security of customer communications and devices.
Identifying Signal Strength and Interference
Ever wondered what makes signal strength weak or strong or how you can improve your signal strength? All cellular devices utilize a radio transceiver to communicate with a broadcast tower or repeater station. High quality signal reception is the key to reliable performance of your M2M (data only) cellular device.
It is important for consumers to understand that cellular network providers do not guarantee service or signal strength, and you may not be able to receive all types of cellular services or signals in all areas.
In this white paper, you'll learn:
- How signal strength is measured (RSSI)
- What can cause signal interference
- The role of antennas in signal strength
- How signal boosters work
- And more
