4.3 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 are 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.
In terms of data consumption, the Base Station will under normal operation of the robot upload
approximately 1.5kB/s. This amounts to an upload of approximately 5GB per month when the robot is
operating 24/7. Similarly, the robot uses the same amount of data monthly during operation.
Use of the Camera, remote login to the HMI, and software updates temporarily increases the data
upload from the robot significantly to around 125-175kB/s. This amounts to approx. 10GB of data upload at
15.5
– 22 hours daily operation of the functions.
Below is a summary of the expected data consumption related to normal operation and an example of
additional data consumption related to the use of the remote HMI and camera.
Activity Robot* Base Station*
Normal Operation Download ~5GB per month* ~0.5GB per month*
Normal Operation Upload ~0.5GB per month* ~5GB per month*
Use of Remote HMI and Camera Upload ~10GB for 15.5
– 22 Hours of use*
N/A
*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 in order to inform the owner prior to data being used up.
