ANSWERS TO YOUR FREQUENTLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS...
1.
How
can
I tell if an area I am interested in
receives mobile phone coverage?
Quite
literally
take your mobile phone to the area and check
how many bars it
has. You can also call your Telco sales rep
or poke around on their
website to find coverage maps of the area.
Or you could ask us for
assistance and we will be happy to help.
2. Can mobile
telemetry
and Telemetry Plus work in areas that do not
have mobile phone
coverage?
No.
3. Will
Telemetry Plus work with any GPRS, 3G, or
NextG
modem on the market?
Telemetry
Plus
works with several smart modems on the
market today such as the Sierra
Wireless FX Series, the Netcomm
NTC-3000, or the Multitech
Multimodem.
If
there
is a particular modem you are
interested in or need help finding a local
distributor please ask: info@gnome-technologies.com
4.
Whats
the difference between a standard modem and
a smart modem?
A
standard
GPRS, 3G, or NextG modem requires the field
device to be IP capable
and implement VPN encryption. Many existing
field devices do not
support such modems. A smart modem on the
other hand, once loaded with
the Telemetry Plus software can
transparently manage the IP connection
and VPN functions on behalf of the field
device, creating a virtual
serial connection across the network.
