Why is the INSTANT GSM SOCKET better than a traditional GSM socket?

Before discussing the significance of the INSTANT GSM socket, it's worth examining the differences between a traditional GSM socket and a Wi-Fi socket.

The primary differences between a GSM socket and a Wi-Fi socket lie in the communication technology they use, which can provide certain advantages or disadvantages in specific scenarios.

Advantages of a GSM socket

1. Wider coverage:
   • GSM sockets use mobile networks for communication, meaning they can be used anywhere with mobile phone coverage. This makes them functional in remote, rural, or hard-to-reach locations where Wi-Fi isn't available.
2. Independent of internet connection:
   • GSM sockets don’t rely on a Wi-Fi network, so they don't depend on home or office internet connections. This can be particularly useful if the internet is unreliable or frequently disconnects.
3. Security:
   • GSM networks use their own encryption protocols, which may differ from those used by Wi-Fi networks. In some cases, this could provide enhanced security since an attacker would need access to the mobile network, not just the local Wi-Fi network.

Disadvantages of a GSM socket

1. SMS costs:
   • GSM sockets usually use SMS messages for communication (control), which can incur additional costs, especially if many notifications are sent.
2. Setup and maintenance:
   • GSM sockets require a SIM card, which necessitates a suitable mobile subscription. This adds administrative and maintenance tasks for the user.

Advantages of a Wi-Fi socket

1. Easy setup and use:
   • Wi-Fi sockets connect easily to home or office Wi-Fi networks without needing a SIM card or mobile subscription.
2. Lower costs:
   • There are no additional SMS costs, and Wi-Fi usage is generally free if an internet connection is already in place.
3. Wide integration:
   • Wi-Fi sockets can often be integrated with smart home systems such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit, making them easier and more versatile to use.

Disadvantages of a Wi-Fi socket

1. Internet dependency:
   • If there's no internet connection or the Wi-Fi network isn't working properly, the sockets won’t be accessible.
2. Range limitations:
   • Wi-Fi has a limited range, and walls or other obstacles can reduce the signal strength, affecting the socket's functionality.

Based on the comparison above, it seems that the GSM socket's advantages lie in its broader coverage and independence from internet connections, while Wi-Fi sockets are more cost-effective, easier to set up, and integrate better with smart home systems. The choice between the two depends on the environment and the intended use of the socket.

How does the INSTANT GSM SOCKET address the disadvantages of traditional GSM sockets?

The INSTANT GSM SOCKET developed by MOHAnet significantly mitigates the mentioned disadvantages of traditional GSM sockets. The device comes with an embedded international SIM card that provides 500MB of data usage. This internet-based SIM card can be used in 97 countries and operates for up to 10 years. As a result, there's no need for monthly subscription fees, offering significant cost savings for the user in the long run.

Addressing the advantages and disadvantages

1. Eliminating SMS costs:
   • The INSTANT GSM socket doesn’t rely on SMS communication, as it operates via internet-based data transmission. The socket’s programming, control, and communication are supported by a mobile application and a cloud server, avoiding the extra costs associated with SMS messaging.
2. Simplifying setup and maintenance:
   • After purchase, the INSTANT GSM socket can be used immediately. There's no need for additional providers or contracts, reducing the administrative burden. Thanks to the built-in international SIM card, there's no need to obtain a SIM card or maintain a subscription.
3. International usability:
   • The international SIM card allows the device to be used in 97 countries, providing a highly flexible solution for those who travel frequently or wish to use the socket in various locations.
4. Independence from internet connection:
   • The INSTANT GSM socket uses a mobile network through the embedded SIM card, making it independent of local Wi-Fi networks or internet connections, which is especially useful in areas where Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.

Market advantages of the INSTANT GSM SOCKET:

1. Ready to use immediately, as it includes an embedded international SIM card with 500MB of data.
2. Can operate for a minimum of 5 years without additional fees in 97 countries.
3. Remote control and program adjustments are supported by a mobile application.
4. The app allows for manual control (on/off), scheduled control (weekly on/off programs), and temperature-based control (on/off when minimum or maximum temperature thresholds are reached). A temperature sensor, included with the device, facilitates this feature.
5. The mobile app and supporting cloud server can manage multiple sockets simultaneously.

Summary

The INSTANT GSM SOCKET stands out by eliminating many of the drawbacks associated with traditional GSM sockets. With its integrated international SIM card, easy setup, long-term cost efficiency, and broad international usability, the INSTANT GSM SOCKET presents itself as an outstanding choice for users.
