FAQ
Can it work without internet?
Yes. Data is buffered locally and syncs when connectivity restores. Rules continue to run offline.
How do updates work?
Signed OTA updates via Frinso Cloud or local maintenance port.
Can I push data to our SCADA?
Yes. Use MQTT/REST bridges or Modbus TCP server mode (optional).
What about SIM management?
Works with major carriers; supports dual SIM and APN configs.
