VPN Connectivity Option

The DCB-4.0 offers an optional VPN connection for direct communication with the easYgen device. Key details about VPN:

• VPN is activated via an application and creates a secure, direct connection to the easYgen.
• This feature can be remotely activated for a one-time cost of €50.
• Note that VPN generates significant data traffic. For VPN users, a 1000MB SIM card is used instead of the standard 3MB SIM card.

SIM Card Options

Option 1: 101 Solutions SIM Card

• 101 Solutions uses Telenor SIM cards, which offer robust connectivity by utilizing multiple providers in one country.
• In Germany, for example, Telenor SIM cards automatically connect to the strongest available network (O2, Vodafone, or Telekom Deutschland).
• Using the 101 SIM card ensures that connectivity issues can be diagnosed and resolved by 101 Solutions.

Option 2: Customer-Supplied SIM Card

• Customers may choose to use their own SIM card.
• If using a customer-supplied SIM card:
• The cost of purchasing a SIM card is waived.
• The monthly fee will cover only hosting the web portal, not SIM card usage.
• Note: Diagnosing connectivity issues is limited if the customer’s SIM card is used.
