GNSS
receivers have internal 4G GSM modems to simplify connecting to RTK
networks. The iG9 GSM modems will work with most USA carriers except
for Verizon.
You
can activate your own cellular data service or you can use the GSM
cards which we include with every most 4G/5G receivers. They will
NOT work with 3G receivers.
If
you choose to use our SIM cards activation will be very simple.
Our
rates are very competitive, there is no activation fee and there is
no contract:

We
can bundle the cost of a 1-year's service with the cost of your
equipment and your equipment will arrive pre-activated. Or you can
choose to activate a data plan on the pre-supplied cards at any
time.
Why purchase a data
plan from iGage?
We
shield you from a potentially frustrating activation experience
Commercial-grade SIMs
No
setup or activation fees
No
waiting for SIM cards to arrive, no charge for the bundled cards
The SIM cards are pre-associated to your iG9 head, all we need
is the iG9 serial number to activate
If
something goes wrong, we have access to the ATT backend network
tools that allow us to actively troubleshoot your card, device,
network connection and card status:

If you purchase a card elsewhere
we are unable to help you because we won't be the account holder
of your service.
Frequently asked
questions
What if I go over my data limit? We
will contact you before you use all your data. Service will not
stop if you reach your allowance however, you will be charged
for excessive use.
Can I increase my monthly allowance? Yes.
Can I move the card between devices?
-
GSM (aSIM): Yes, the card is registered to a primary
device, however it should activate in other devices.
-
vSIM: Yes but you will probably need to contact us with
the IMEI number of the new device each time the card is
moved.
What is the APN, User Name and
Password? Typically you must
set the APN to: 'dac.com.attz' and leave Name and Password
blank the card should automatically provision.
What is the phone number of my card? The
card is data only and has no voice or messaging features.
Is the IP address static? No,
the address typically is double-NATted and can not be reached
from a public IP. If your application requires a public-IP or a
static-IP you need to purchase service elsewhere.
Is the iGage supplied service a good deal? If
your data use is typical, our plans are extremely cost effective
because they have a small, fixed, monthly (but paid annually)
cost. If you are going to use more than 5-GB of data per month,
then it may be less expensive to purchase an 'Unlimited Plan'
attached to a typical voice/data/messaging plan. Even if the
alternate 'Unlimited Plan' high-speed quota is used, the
throttled speed should be sufficient for RTK/NTRIP use.

How much data will my iG9 use? |
A highest data use scenario is a fully
enabled GNSS Base (GPS + GLO + GAL + BDS + SBAS + QZS) receiver
(like the iG9) tracking 31 satellites, all signals (L2C, L5,
GLO-L3), broadcasting RTCM3.2 MSM. This configuration will transfer
~34,000 bytes of correction data per minute:

Typical networks in the USA
track GPS + GLO only and transfer ~18,000 bytes per minute while
tracking 16 satellites:

250-Mb per month is plenty of data
for most survey and engineering users, however if you plan on using
the iG9's built-in hotspot choose a plan with enough data for the
receiver and the attached computer's use.

Cellular Data Plans for other devices |
We offer discounted data subscription plans on multiple carriers
with no contracts, annual payments and easy configuration.
Our customers are surveyors and engineers with single receiver
modems to large enterprise organizations with multiple devices. Our
data SIM cards work with both GSM (ANET) and CDMA (VNET) SIM
devices.
SIM cards are $5 each and are shipped
by USPS Mail.
If
you have a single modem in a GNSS receiver, an automated tractor, a
security camera, a remote GNSS CORS station or even a UAV tracking
device, we can provide simple, no-contract cellular connectivity
utilizing the top networks at great prices with no setup fees.
