We’re excited to announce that Odin can now be connected to the world via 4G!
This makes Odin free to be placed anywhere in the wilderness, and you'll still be able to enjoy your daily update emails to keep track of your project. Wherever you are, you can connect to your preferred mobile / cell network. Any 4G network. Remember, not all networks have equal coverage, so being able to choose the carrier with the best signal is vital for good communication.
This is an incredibly useful addition to the system, and a feature many potential owners have been waiting for! It also removes the previous restriction of having to place the camera near a local Wi-Fi network in order to receive your daily status updates.
How does Odin do this? - Odin simply adds a 4G LTE dongle to its system to connect to the internet via the mobile / cell network and send its update to the user once a day.
It’s very easy to set up - All you have to do is, purchase a pay-as-go Sim card, or subscribe to a monthly mobile mobile plan, then set up your 4G dongle. Once the 4G dongle is set up on your network, simply tell Odin to connect to that wifi network, and you’re done!
You will not use more than 200mb / month for the email updates, so a low-cost sim card plan will be perfectly adequate. Also, no monthly subscription fees from Chronosys either!
In the UK, you can use all the major networks with the unlocked 4G dongle that we supply:
The 4G Dongle in situ
Our 4G dongle should work fine in Europe as it uses popular 4G bands (bands B1, B3, B5). You can also check if our dongle will work in your country by checking on this Frequency Checker website . If our dongle is not compatible with your country, simply buy a dongle that IS compatible from any online retailer. Just check with us to make sure it'll be compatible with Odin before you buy anything!
In keeping with our low-cost, open, modular philosophy behind the Odin, if you don’t want to buy a dongle from us, you are free to use your own dongle. Again, check with us first to make sure it will be suitable with Odin.
See you in the Wild!
