Two types of cellular routers are supported offered for the Pedestal WattStation: CDMA/EV-DO and
GSM/HSPA. Both routers will support speeds up to 3G and default to lower speeds when the
maximum is not available. The cellular carrier for the CDMA router is Verizon for US installations and
the cellular carrier for the GSM router is Vodafone for Canada installations. All cellular claims are
based on the US coverage map provided by Verizon and Canadian coverage map from Vodafone.
The cellular router is powered from the EVSE controller. Only one type of the router can be installed in
an individual Pedestal.
GE recommends that customers perform a site survey with a third party to ensure adequate cellular
performance. The exact environmental factors of the location and orientation to the nearest cell
tower strongly affect cellular performance.!
The cellular router is certified as an intentional radiator per FCC Part 15 Subpart C rules and has been
granted the following Federal Communication Commission and Industry Canada (Industries Canada)
identification numbers.
Note that a Pedestal WattStation that has the cellular router and antenna installed cannot
utilize the WiFi option.
