M2M 3G Modem Installations: Which Carrier Has the Best Coverage For You?

March 1, 2016

Growth in the machine to machine market has been driven by lower cost 3G modems that are multi-band and have become relatively straightforward to integrate into everything from Electric Vehicle Chargers, ATM’s, Kiosks, smart meters, and used in numerous other remote monitoring applications. Several estimates have predicted that there will be over $1.5 billion M2M connections within the next ten years. The soaring demand to install 3G modem poses a challenge when deciding on which cellular technology provides the best signal coverage at a given location. Costs are certainly important, but signal coverage, antenna placement and data thru-put are also important factors to consider when installing a 3G modem.
