Network/Internet Connection
The Ohme ePod uses a 4G data connection which is pre-configured in the factory to communicate
directly to the Ohme backend server.
Signal coverage in the UK is generally very good but it is important to ensure the customer is aware
that the unit relies on a mobile signal. Where it is known to be unreliable, the customer should be
made aware that the smart features of the Ohme unit will also be unreliable. Ohme cannot be held
responsible for the installation location and issues with the public mobile phone network.
Where the unit cannot establish data transfer at the time of plug in, the unit will behave like a dumb
charger and will not schedule the charging session.
