What do Rensen installations use?
Rensen's installations mainly use the KPN network. This means that all 3G routers and modems will switch to 2G from January 2022. Your installation continues to work as usual. It may just be that when you want to connect to your project remotely, it is slower than you are used to. This depends on the amount of data being sent. Do you want to use TC Manager? Then a 3G router is not suitable.
Don't know what kind of router or modem is in your installation? Or is it not immediately clear what the consequences of the disappearance of the 2G or 3G network will be for you? Please contact Rensen, they are happy to watch with you.
