I wanted to ask if there have been any attempts to integrate the SmartCitizen Kit with a 4G or 5G module to enable a fully standalone solution. If not, is there any existing documentation or guidance on how this could be achieved?
Hi @fatjon.cani,
Welcome!
Currently, the connection of the SCK to the internet happens via Wi-Fi. If no existing Wi-Fi network is available, some options that have been explored is by using inexpensive USB dongles with 4G sim-card capability, that can create a local network.
@bron has worked on that direction and they probably have a few recommendations to share. Main takeaways are that you can build one simple system, using a split cable to power both, the USB dongle and the SCK.
- SIMCard: Reliable IoT Sim Cards for Global Connectivity | Simbase - very cheap, full coverage in Europe.
- USB Dongle: Link
- USB Cable: Link
Hope this helps!
Yes indeed we have multiple sensors and Simbase has connectivity solutions in Europe and also outside depending which plan you take.
