Choosing the ideal data plan
This page helps you choose the optimal data plan for using our product, CLEMAP Load Management, with a router with a SIM card.
Data plan requirements
To use CLEMAP Load Management effectively, it is important to have a data plan that meets the following requirements:
Connection speed
The required connection speed varies depending on the type of installation. The data requirements differ considerably between an installation with a few locally connected charging stations via ModbusTCP and one with many charging stations controlled via the cloud. Here are some general guidelines:
- Small installation: For an installation with a maximum of 5 charging stations via ModbusTCP, a SIM card with a speed of 0.5 Mbit/s and no data limit is sufficient.
- Medium installation: If the installation includes charging stations controlled via the cloud (e.g. Charge Amps, Easee or Zaptec), a SIM card with a speed of at least 1 Mbit/s and no data limit is recommended.
- Large installation: For installations with more than 10 charging stations, a SIM card with a speed of 10 Mbit/s and no data limit is recommended.
- Larger installation: For installations with 50 or more charging stations, up to 10 MB per station per day can be used when using the cloud.
Data limit
It is strongly recommended to choose a data plan without restrictions to avoid service interruptions due to exhausted data.
Data consumption
Data consumption varies considerably depending on the type of installation and the number of updates required. In some cases, consumption can amount to several GB per month.
