The LTE modem supports multiple carriers, and it has been certified by major global carriers. The appliance has two externally accessible SIM card slots, one for each embedded LTE-A modem.
• Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver enables tracking and location-based services. • Stores up to three firmware versions, thereby allowing the modem to switch to other networks. • Firmware can be upgraded over the air. • Secure boot provides secure connectivity by preventing unauthorized code on target devices. The LTE modem connections are metered connections, and the Versa software implementation ensures that the LTE service is charged only when needed.
labeled SIM1 and SIM2. Note: If the appliance has two SIM card slots, use SIM slot 1 and vni-0/100 port for bootstrapping when you upgrade the software to a later version. If the appliance is powered off when you insert the SIM card or cards, the LTE functionality is activated when you boot the appliance. If you insert the SIM card or cards into the LTE modem module when the appliance is powered on and operational, you must reboot the appliance to restart the LTE modem and LTE functionality.
