SOCA-02 No Modem
Uses The Router You Already Install.
No second modem and no second SIM. The controller joins the router's own 2.4 GHz network and reads that router's figures while the rotator scans.
Who Picks This
Pick this when the site already has a cellular router Cellular Path has verified. It suits most router partner and rural wireless jobs.
How It Works On Site
Mount. Two V-bolts on a pole 25 to 57 mm in diameter. The supplied antenna pole carries the directional antenna above it.
Pair. The controller joins the router's 2.4 GHz network. Take the router's wireless credentials and its administrator login to site.
Scan, then re-aim. Twelve positions, alignment in under ten minutes, and the scan re-run from the app or the web portal whenever the network moves.
