The following factors affect the amount of cellular data used by the hub:
- Hub-server polling interval
- Monitoring station polling interval
- Type of connection of the monitoring station: on-demand or permanent
- Number of reconnections of the hub with the server or monitoring station
- Number of devices – the more devices, the higher the cellular data consumption
- Type of connected devices (for instance, LifeQuality Jeweller typically sends more data than DoorProtect Jeweller)
- Radio situation at the site – frequent changes in radio noise levels increase cellular data consumption
- Some cellular provider conditions, such as session termination and traffic rounding by the provider, can increase the amount of cellular data usage.
