<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Andrew et al,</div><div><br></div><div>We've found the RUT* range from Teltonika to work pretty well in most locations. It also helps that they're better priced and easier to obtain than their opengear equivalents. <br></div><div><a href="https://teltonika-networks.com/products">https://teltonika-networks.com/products</a></div><div><br></div><div>The cost of these + a cellular service for a year is almost equivalent to the cost of just the XC install + one month alone, then of course you need optics, cables and someone to put a service on it. It really gets down to what you're building, what you want it to support and how reliable you need it to be. <br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Ben Babich<br></div><div>w: <a href="https://datamossa.com" target="_blank">https://datamossa.com</a> | e: <a href="mailto:bbabich@datamossa.com" target="_blank">bbabich@datamossa.com</a><br></div><div><div><div>p: +61 2 8188 5111 | m: +61 412 501 110<br>o: Suite 1, Level 31, 31 Market St. Sydney, NSW 2000.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 27 Nov 2023 at 13:44, James Loh <<a href="mailto:jloh@fastmail.com">jloh@fastmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6084863112753113"><u></u><div><div>Don't do DC work anymore but when I did we did the same as Jaden.
