Do I HAVE to upgrade all of my equipment?
No, if your equipment setup does not require an internet connection, it will continue to function as usual. However, if internet connectivity is needed, the part with the 3G modem must be upgraded or the SIM card transferred to a compatible 4G device.
Can I use my TSC3 as a hotspot for my phone?
Unlikely, as the technology gap widens between mobile hotspot networks and older devices, compatibility eventually reaches a limit.
Modern phone security protocols are too advanced for older controllers and may not establish a connection. While it might work with some phone models for now, it’s not guaranteed.
What happens to my current data plan if I upgrade?
Your data plan remains unaffected; the SIM card is transferred to the new controller, which should connect seamlessly. The main concern might be the SIM card size, as your provider may upgrade it free of charge. Ensure to confirm that your SIM/plan is 4G/5G ready.
