2. Simpler Configuration Compared to GSM: Setting up the GSM module is more complex, requiring the entry of an APN code via Bosch Programming Software from a PC.
3. No Extra Fees: Unlike the GSM module, which requires a SIM card with a data plan, the IP module doesn’t incur additional costs.
4. Hassle-Free Connectivity: The IP module offers a plug-and-play setup, meaning no reprogramming is needed when changing internet providers.
5. Faster Alarm Notifications: Generally, the IP module provides quicker alarm notifications to your mobile device compared to the GSM module.

Features of the GSM Module (B450-M + B443 GSM Module):

1. Operates During Power Outages: The GSM module relies on a mobile network, ensuring your alarm system remains active even during power outages—especially useful in areas with unreliable internet.
2. Ideal for Locations Without Internet: The GSM module is a great option for locations where an internet connection is unavailable, such as sheds or garages, ensuring continuous alarm reporting.
3. Recommended for Unreliable Networks: We suggest the GSM module if your site’s network is unreliable or nonexistent. However, the initial setup is more complex, and it may be less straightforward for customers to program themselves.
4. Multiple Code Pad Styles Available: GSM module kits are available with various code pad styles, offering flexibility in design.
