Cellular-Based Wireless Communication Overview - ADS TRITON+ Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Cellular-Based Wireless
Communication Overview
The ADS TRITON+ monitoring system supports cellular wireless
communication through an internal Telit UMTS/HSPA+/GSM
modem (in TRITON+ monitors supporting global 3G network
services, ADS p/n 8000-FST-IM-GL or 8000-FST-IM-EP-GL), the
Verizon LTE-M modem (in TRITON+ monitors supporting
®
Verizon
FST-IM-EP-4VZ) or the WorldWide 4G LTE-M modem, ADS p/n
8000-FST-IM-4WW (ATT or VZW) or 8000-FST-IM-EP-4WW
(ATT or VZW) using static or dynamic IP address network
services. Any location considered for wireless communication
installation must have access to at least one of the following LTE-
M bands: B1 (2100), B2 (1900), B3 (1800), B4 (AWS 1700), B5
(850), B8 (900), B12 (700), B13 (700), B18 (800), B19 (800), B20
(800), B26 (850), B28(700) and/or one of the following 2G bands:
B2 (1900), B3 (1800), B5 (850), B8 (900). The wireless device
must contain a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card provisioned
with specific account and network information.
Wireless communications and the quality of service depend on
local conditions and service providers. An optimal location for
flow monitoring may not offer the best wireless network coverage.
The user is responsible for finding the most reliable network for the
project area. Therefore, perform a signal survey to ensure that the
monitoring site has adequate reception for wireless
communications. Consider consulting local wireless providers for
assistance.
Note: Do not rely solely on coverage maps. These can
provide misleading information for specific areas.
Typically, sewer systems exist in low-lying areas in which
network access can be the most difficult to obtain.
Certain static IPs may be used for communicating wirelessly
through the Qstart
ADS hosted system software. The service must support Mobile
Terminated service as well as Mobile-Originated (for alarm cryout)
network services, ADS p/n 8000-FST-IM-4VZ or 8000-
