Verizon Wireless

What you need:

  • Verizon Wireless 4G LTE CAT-1 coverage at the data logger site. For a coverage map, refer to: https://www.verizon.com/ .
  • Verizon Wireless 4G LTE private dynamic IP account in conjunction with Campbell Scientific Konect PakBus Router Service. (A Verizon Wireless 4G LTE static unrestricted IP account can also be used. However, Verizon generally requires new users to have 50 lines of service to obtain the static unrestricted IP account. Also, there is generally a $500 one-time-per-customer charge to activate static IP on the account.)

To set up an account, you will need the IMEI number of the module. The IMEI number is listed on a label on the module. To set up an account with Verizon Wireless, call:

800-526-3178 for Business Sales
800-256-4646 for Personal Sales

Verizon Wireless will provide a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card for each module. The Micro-SIM (3FF) (6 position / contacts) card must be installed inside of the module as described in Install the SIM card. In addition to the SIM card, you should receive:

  • 10-digit MSISDN number (telephone number associated with the SIM, used for billing)
  • An APN (Access Point Name) for 4G LTE CAT-1 service. A common APN used for this application is: VZWINTERNET. The user must program the APN into the module.
  • For static IP accounts only, an IP Address will be included.
