Ocean City Project Review

Ocean City Project Review

This webpage provides an overview of the Ocean City project, covering key aspects like design options, communication methods, and cloud access setup.

 

Original Design: This was used for the initial quote and assumed a single pole, center-mounted sign.

Change Order: The revised design requires the sign to be side-mounted and includes additional reinforcement.

(Optional) Aesthetic Feature: Panel Options

• Double-Sided Signs: Includes side panels.
• Single-Sided Signs: Includes side and back panels.

Communication Options

When setting up your sign, several communication options are available to ensure seamless connectivity. Below are the recommended hardware and alternatives:

Included:

• WIFI / LAN: Standard communication methods provided.
• Hardware Provided:
  • Point to Point: For direct, long-range communication.
  • Repeaters: To extend the reach of your existing network.

Optional: 4G Broadband

• Hardware Option: While we've tested primarily with Verizon, other carriers with similar specifications should work as well.

Embedded Option

• Quectel 4G Module EG25-G: This module integrates directly with the controller, providing a compact and reliable 4G connectivity solution.

Outdoor Modem

• KuWFi 300Mbps Outdoor 4G LTE CPE: A wireless modem and internet hotspot designed for outdoor use. The sign is equipped with a 24V PoE adapter, which should be compatible with other capable PoE modems.

Internal Modem

• InHand Networks IR302 Industrial IoT 4G LTE VPN Cellular Router: This 4G LAN modem comes with two output ports, providing robust internal connectivity.

Note: Alternatives with similar specifications should work effectively. For the outdoor CPE, the provided equipment can also be configured as repeaters, allowing you to reuse an active internet connection.
