2 - SIM-card from Third-party Provider

The customer can also decide to purchase a SIM-card from a third-party provider.

When purchasing a SIM-card, it is highly important to choose a provider with a stable and good coverage in all the areas where the Base Station and Robot is going to operate.

To provide the best possible conditions, it is recommended to use a Multi-SIM solution. A Multi-SIM is a single SIM-card that connects to various operators and thereby chooses the network with the best connection in the specific area.

Below is a summary of the expected data consumption related to normal operation and an example of additional data consumption related to use of the remote HMI and camera.

*FarmDroid cannot be held accountable for any additional or unexpected data use.

It is highly recommended to include some leeway in the data subscription until the owner has established some experience with the actual data consumption. Furthermore, it is recommended to have an alarm function included in the subscription to inform the owner prior to data being used up.
