General description
The EXPLORER 540 is a small and light BGAN M2M terminal, with the option to operate on
both Inmarsat and cellular networks. The durable casing and a dust and water resistant design
makes the EXPLORER 540 the perfect choice for any kind of fixed outside installation.
Depending on your airtime subscription, the EXPLORER 540 either operates as an M2M
(machine-to-machine) terminal or as a BGAN class 2 terminal.
With the optional EXPLORER 540 LTE Modem, the EXPLORER 540 provides unique flexibility
and M2M data communication cost-control, as it ensures the most cost-effective
communication service can be chosen. The dual-mode operation delivers significant fail-over
capabilities with the automatic switching between the BGAN network and the cellular network.
For organizations transferring critical real-time data within their M2M networks, the dual mode
of the EXPLORER 540 can provide unmatched service availability.
