Does anyone here have any experience or knowledge about cellular modems? Not cell phones with hotspots, but a stand alone cellular modem. I'm talking about getting access out where there is no internet connection. I know some time ago when I spoke to ADT for security, they offered a cell modem for their alarm system if you didn't have a land line.
This is NOT for web surfing, it's for getting some equipment hooked to the internet where there is no internet connection.
I'm looking for information or experience about that type of product (not security related).
A few things I'd like to know:
1) Who's the carrier, can you take an off the shelf item and get service from any of the big boys?
2) Is it easy to set up?
3) What's the cost per month for the cell service?
4) Are there any features/brands that shine over any others? Anything to stay away from?
Thanks!
