Do I need the 4G Internet option? Do I need mobile coverage for GPS to work?

Our refurbished devices can be optioned with 4G or 5G connectivity, ideal for field-based work, remote access, or staying connected in areas without Wi-Fi. If you regularly work off-site or want mobile internet access without relying on a phone hotspot, this upgrade is recommended.

We supply compatible 4G/5G modules (SIM-ready), giving you the flexibility to insert your own SIM card and mobile data plan. This ensures a reliable, always-on connection wherever a mobile signal is available, perfect for technicians, inspectors, and anyone working in vehicles or on the move.

GPS functionality is also supported and does not require mobile coverage. A SIM card is not needed for GPS to operate, but assisted GPS (A-GPS) can provide faster location lock-on when a mobile network is available.
