Cellular Modem 

Data collected by the STOR-X on LOBO is transmitted to the end user or server computer using a cellular 
modem.  Presently, only GPRS (GSM) modems are supported, although CDMA modems may be possible in 
special situations.  Some of the relevant specifications for the GPRS version are summarized below in Table 

17. 

Table 17: GSM/GPRS Modem Specifications

For the GSM/GPRS modem, the user will need to purchase a cellular data plan.  The cellular service provider 
will supply a SIM card when the data plan is purchased.  The SIM card must be installed in the modem, 
which may require the modem to be removed from its enclosure, depending on the model provided.  Please 

refer to the STOR-X manual RD1 for instructions.

Modem Enclosure 

There are several versions of the modem enclosure available, depending on the LOBO platform used and 
the user requirements.  The basic versions are
