DAC (Data Activation Center) cellular SIM Cards
I’ve been using a cellular connection between my base and rover for several years now. In most of my work areas, cellular service is good enough for corrections to be sent between base and rover. In the rare instances when I’m working an area with poor cellular coverage, I use my UHF radio.
Recently I needed to make a change to my cellular provider and went with DAC. I can say that I’ve had an excellent experience with them and would highly recommend them for SIM cards for this purpose. They can provide static IP service (which is required at the base, unless you are using an intermediate service such as Carlson’s Listen Listen), as well as dynamic IP service. The cost is extremely reasonable ($450 for both cards per year). This means that for both cards, I’m paying less than I paid for my static IP card or my dynamic IP card before.
I don’t work for them or have any financial incentive with them, just a pleased customer. For those of you working with base rover and working primarily in areas with good cellular service, I would recommend considering a move from UHF and FHSS to cellular.
