1. Introduction
This manual provides information for interfacing the Sierra Wireless LS300G
cellular modem to Campbell Scientific dataloggers.

on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) networks. The modem
is accessed through the Internet using TCP/IP communications protocol.
Use of the LS300G requires an AT&T® GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA+ business
account or an equivalent account from another service provider. See Section

power with the datalogger, or a combination of these to ensure the battery
