Optional: To set up cellular network for data
The EXPLORER 540 is a BGAN terminal by default. However, if you are within coverage of a
cellular network, you may want to acquire an EXPLORER 540 LTE Modem as an alternative to
the BGAN network. Note that you need a separate SIM card for the EXPLORER 540 LTE Modem
to access the cellular network, the EXPLORER 540 SIM card can only be used for the BGAN
network.
For general information of the EXPLORER 540 function with the EXPLORER 540 LTE Modem,
