AutoFlex Connect 3 builds off the foundation of AutoFlex Connect 2, adding additional features and a more powerful platform:

• Powerful new processor and more memory — increases performance
• Cellular modem — increases remote connectivity options
• External Wi-Fi and cellular antennas — increases communication range
• Ethernet switch with four ports — allows you to network additional IoT devices
• Configurable manual override switches and knobs — allows you to quickly and conveniently override settings and manually control equipment
• Built-in electrical noise shield — reduces electrical noise and interference

In addition to the new features above, AutoFlex Connect 3 Mini has been redesigned and includes:

• Wider and deeper enclosure — allows more room for wires and makes it easier to install
• Cable trough — makes it easier to route the wires to the modules

AutoFlex Connect 3 controls include a cellular modem with a SIM card installed. You will need to contact Phason Controls to activate the SIM card. There are multi-carrier plans for both the United States and Canada that will select the best available network to ensure great coverage and peak performance.

At this time, the cellular is not available outside of North America.
