Cellular-Based Wireless
Communication
The ADS TRITON+ monitor system supports cellular wireless
communication through a Telit UMTS/HSPA+/GSM modem
(inside the monitor) using static or dynamic IP address network
services. Any location considered for wireless communication
installation must have access to 800/850, 900, AWS1700, 1900, or
2100 MHz service and B5, B8, B2, B1, and B4 operating bands. If
required by the wireless carrier, the user must fit the wireless device
with a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card provisioned with
specific account and network information.
Wireless communications and the quality of service depend on local
conditions and service providers. An optimal location for flow
monitoring may not offer the best wireless network coverage. The
user is responsible for finding the most reliable network for the
project area. Therefore, perform a signal survey to ensure that the
monitoring site has adequate reception for wireless
communications. Consider consulting local wireless providers for
assistance.
Note: Do not rely solely on coverage maps. These can
provide misleading information for specific areas.
Typically, sewer systems exist in low-lying areas in which
network access can be the most difficult to obtain.
Certain static IP SIM cards may be used for communicating
wirelessly through the Qstart software platform or networks
supporting ADS hosted system software. The service must support
Mobile Terminated service as well as Mobile-Originated (for alarm
cryout) functionality. Communication with a TRITON+ requires
entering the IP address into the Qstart software Location
Information File (LIF).
When using a static SIM card that provides a public IP address, the
PC must have internet connectivity. When using a static SIM card
that provides a private IP address, the PC first must establish a VPN
