SmartCom V3.0 firmware offers significant performance and resilience upgrades, including:

  • Updated Linux operating system with latest IoT security protection
  • Updated LED functionality to ensure consistency with SmartCom 4G (coming soon)
  • SmartCom V3.0 LED Functionality

SmartCom V3.0 has new LED functionality to ensure consistency between the SmartCom and the upcoming SmartCom 4G.

With SmartCom V3.0 the Power LED has been replaced with a Mobile Comms status LED, a feature of the upcoming SmartCom 4G
