Set up a 4G Cellular Account for an X2 Data Logger
While NexSens can provision and manage a Verizon cellular account for an X2 Data Logger if desired, it may be
preferred to set up and manage an account directly with a provider. The X2’s cellular telemetry requires a 4G
compatible SIM to operate. Please reference the following information for account setup:
Step 1) Verify cellular coverage
Prior to selecting a carrier, verify that the deployment location of the X2 data logger has sufficient 4G data
coverage. In addition to consulting a coverage map, it is advised to visit the location with a 4G device of the
carrier to assure the signal strength is not being hindered by local obstructions.
Step 2) Receive the X2’s cellular module information from NexSens
NexSens will provide the IMEI number specific to the cellular module equipped on each X2 logger as soon as
one has been assigned.
Step 3) Provide IMEI and data requirements to carrier and receive SIM card
Provide the 15-digit IMEI number to the carrier and request to assign this to a Mini SIM card (2FF size, 25mm x
15mm) for a Machine to Machine data plan. Be sure to request that the line is Mobile Terminated.
If asked about which size of data plan to assign to the account, note that most systems will require less than
25MB/month during deployment. Actual usage will depend upon the number of recorded parameters, sampling
frequency, and if any firmware updates are conducted over the air. For a more precise estimate on system data
usage, please contact NexSens.
A Static IP and Unrestricted Access are not required.
Step 4) Mail SIM card to NexSens Technology for installation and X2 testing
It is required that the SIM card for the X2 telemetry be sent to NexSens for pre-shipment installation and testing.
Please ship the SIM card to:
