Manage all Devices from a Single Platform
A user-friendly cloud-based web portal allows you to monitor fielded gateways from one dashboard. You may activate and deactivate data plans, diagnose and troubleshoot issues, view data consumption, remotely connect your devices, and manage billing. Our platform, based on RevX Systems, allows you to manage gateways with different carriers such as AT&T and Verizon.
Why Monthly Billing?
A month-to-month subscription offers flexibility and savings, enabling you to disable a device’s data plan when that system is not in service. This feature is exceptionally cost-effective for agricultural and seasonal applications where systems are shut down for winter. In addition, there are no extra charges for roaming, activation, deactivation, platform usage, or out-of-hours usage. Monthly overage fees do apply, however.

- Position your gateway for the best WiFi and cellular signal reception:
