\r\n\t\t\t\tShould I use twisted pair cables for the ecosystem installation?\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\n
In any installation, a cable can act as an antenna and the noise on the cable increases with the increased length of the cable and with the increased enclosed area of the cables. Shorter cables and the closer the wires are together will improve the noise reduction on an installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a twisted pair, the long antenna is divided by many smaller antennas that work in opposite ways. The noise captured by one antenna is subtracted by the noise captured by the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\tHow is an AVIRE SIM different to a consumer solution?\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

An AVIRE SIM is an M2M (machine to machine), managed, non-steered roaming SIM. Consumer sims usually cater for regular human interaction and only use or prefer one provider. AVIRE SIM\u2019s on the other hand are designed for machine to machine communication with the ability to connect to multiple providers. AVIRE\u2019s SIM Cards are preactivated and automatically work with the DCP. This saves time when programming the DCP. Many consumer roaming SIMs are Steered Roaming SIMs which means they will have a preferred network that the SIM will connect to if available, even if it is not the strongest. It is only when the signal drops below a certain level that the signal will switch to a different network. When a SIM is non-steered, like the AVIRE SIM, this means that they will always connect to the strongest network available and therefore guarantee maximum strength of connection. M2M, which stands for machine to machine, generally refers to communication between two devices, with no human interaction. An M2M SIM card is primarily used for sending and receiving data; not for voice and SMS, however you can get voice and SMS messages included in the package. When thinking about SIMs in terms of Internet of Things (IoT), M2M is really about the communication between the devices.

\r\n\t\t\t\tWhat is a roaming SIM?\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\n
A roaming SIM is a mobile SIM card that will connect to more than one network within its home country, if a network carrier goes down or a signal cannot be gained from one network, it will automatically switch to the next strongest signal from one of the other networks available.<\/h4>\n\n\n\nThis means that you should never lose signal, assuming there is coverage by at least one network, and provides maximum security of connection. Most consumer SIMs do not roam within their own country and use one network- if there is an area that is not covered by that network, or that network fails, signal is lost.<\/h4>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\tWhy should you use an M2M SIM?\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\n
For applications using small amounts of data and voice, as is the case with most elevator emergency telephones, specific M2M SIMs usually provide a better deal compared to consumer SIM cards. Consumer SIMs will have large amounts of data and voice, generally not required for most M2M applications and Pay As You Go SIM Cards need regular checking to make sure they are in credit.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n M2M SIM Cards also provide enhanced security and are designed to be managed easily across many devices. There are also additional benefits such as they will generally not switch off during periods of extended inactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, the DCP can work with any SIM card of the correct size with appropriate voice\/data, however we recommend using Avire roaming SIMs as they have been preconfigured on the DCP to connect to the Avire HUB monitoring.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

\nThe web interface and all customer facing APIs use HTTPS (TLS v1.2) and require user authentication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n The AVIRE HUB is hosted in Azure, which is used by many high-profile organisations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n MySQL is the database engine which has unparalleled security and global reach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Unwanted incoming and outgoing connections are blocked by a secure firewall that is monitored on a daily basis. Only specified connections are allowed through our secure firewall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Protections include username, password and a certificate required for access to the AVIRE HUB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t

\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\n
The web interface and all customer facing APIs use HTTPS (TLS v1.2) and require user authentication. In HTTPS the communication protocol is encrypted using a using Transport Layer Security (TLS), or, formerly, its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The protocol is therefore also often referred to as HTTP over TLS, or HTTP over SSL.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t
