FAQ: CCU Data Usage

If I want to use a Dedicated Mobile Hotspot to provide Wi-Fi signal for my CCU(s), how much data will I need?

Usage Scenario	Verified Configuration	Daily Data	Estimated Monthly Data
Normal operation—CCU only	40 devices;	206 MB/day	6.18 GB/month
Normal operation—CCU + Remote App background traffic	40 devices;	222 MB/day	6.66 GB/month
Normal operation + remote access + 5.5-hour BACnet polling	40 devices; 600 BACnet points	357 MB/day	10.71 GB/month
Normal operation + remote access + 15-hour BACnet polling	40 devices; 600 BACnet points	421 MB/day	12.63 GB/month

Recommendation
For the configuration of ~40 devices, a 20 GB/month data plan is recommended. An unlimited plan may be preferred when remote access, BACnet polling, commissioning or troubleshooting will occur frequently.

Plan Size	Suitability
10 GB/month	Acceptable for normal operation with infrequent remote access
20 GB/month	Recommended; provides headroom for remote access, troubleshooting and temporary usage increases
Unlimited	Best for frequent remote access, extended commissioning, BACnet polling or unpredictable support activity
