*SIM CARD DATA USAGE
The PPN Modem does have a wifi antenna in it that can create local hotspots.
You can choose to turn on or off this feature.
WIFI OFF
– approx. 30-40 Mb of data will be used during an average working day for the
RTK Network corrections. Meaning a 1-2 Gb data plan for a month will cover this setup
WIFI ON
– this amount of data usage is completing dependant on WIFI usage.
You should only be using an unlimited plan to make sure to cover all data usage.
