three connection methods available:

This section will prepare the Smappee for connecting to the Internet at a later point
during the installation steps.
Ethernet cable (recommended)
The Smappee Pro monitor should be connected to the network by an RJ-45 Ethernet
cable.
The Ethernet cable should be connected to the Ethernet port of your monitor.
External Wi-Fi module (USB)
The external Wi-Fi module connects the Smappee Pro to a local Wi-Fi
network. It should be plugged in the USB port of the Smappee.
If you experience problems with the Wi-Fi connectivity, please consult
the Wi-Fi checklist. You can find the checklist at
http://support.smappee.com. Search for "checklist".

SIM card, as part of your data subscription option.
