IoT integrators often choose ControlByWeb® devices for their features, flexibility, and ease of use. That capability is expanding with new cellular versions of our most popular edge controllers. Cellular and WiFi capability allow integrators to share I/O data without needing a hardwired connection. Cellular can also act as a backup to Ethernet in case of any local network failure. This expanded lineup of controllers joins existing devices like the X-400C™ and FridgeAlert™ to offer you the best device for your application while utilizing wireless data.
Take your edge data capture further with ControlByWeb.
*Note that cellular-enabled controller need an active cell plan, billed annually. For full plan details, review our terms and conditions.

Benefits of Cellular-Enabled I/O
Capturing and using edge data offers huge opportunities—and wireless solutions like cellular can simplify and speed up the integration process. Some data may be impossible to collect through Ethernet due to existing infrastructure. Cellular connectivity allows for I/O where it otherwise couldn’t exist, or acts as a backup when other solutions go down.
Here are some of the benefits of using a ControlByWeb cellular controller:
- A simplified setup. No third-party hardware or software is required set up and use cellular connectivity. All you need is the included SIM card and you’ll be able to access the configurable status page through the built-in interface. From here, you can review signal strength, set ping interval, and more.
- Robust network coverage. ControlByWeb cellular controllers including eUICC (eSIM) technology, allowing them to operate across multiple carriers.
- One plan covers your I/O. Expansion modules bridge the I/O among ControlByWeb devices. One cellular-enabled controller allows all connected input and output devices to operate wirelessly.
- Note that more I/O means increased data usage. Consult our team to determine the best data plan for your needs.
- Cellular-as-backup. Our cellular devices include the option to use Ethernet as the primary connection and cellular as a failover, adding redundancy to your application. Using cellular this way also means less data being used, allowing integrators to opt for the most cost-effective data plan.

The ControlByWeb® Difference
Capturing data at the edge can be challenging due to environmental conditions, distance, network inconsistencies, power restrictions, and other factors. If you need a certain feature or capability, odds are that we offer the right relay for the job. In addition to cellular connectivity, many ControlByWeb IoT controllers support P2P networking and WiFi for those applications where hardwiring isn’t possible.
