iSocket 3G Escapes The Finnish Winter

iSocket 3G escapes the Finnish winter
Posted

We experienced really severe conditions in Finland in January this year - the temperature dropped below -30C (-22F) and we decided to freeze our new iSocket 3G to check how it behaves in the cold Finnish winter before we started to ship it to Canada, USA and other countries.

Let’s go!

Temperature sensors in the car shows -30C or -22F

WARNING! You are strictly prohibited from doing the same! For more arguments read what happened with iSocket 3G at the end of this article.  For a serious explanation – read “Why do some electronics work in cold weather and others don’t?”

So, we put iSocket in the snow. It survived.

We left it outside at -30C (-22F) with the temperature sensor connected for a couple of weeks. It was in the cold day and night. It survived and operated well.

Once we loaded it to switch car engine heating remotely for a few days, again at -30C (-22F). It survived again!

Note: THIS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED! It is a violation of our terms of use – read this post.

But when we decided to drive a car over it…

iSocket is almost to die... :(

it objected, and left us!

MISSING!

If you find an iSocket wandering about looking sad and forlorn in your country - let us know!

iSocket for power outages monitoring in the United States and Canada

 This is a great product. It has saved us lots of headaches during natural disasters such as the most recent hurricanes in Louisiana. We have this in over four states and 30 offices that we support. The product works great and as advertised. We know when the power goes out, and therefore we can take remediating action much faster than waiting on the next time staff is in office. We look forward to engaging more of our management team in receiving these alerts and streamline communication about outages in our organization.

A small cost for the peace of mind and comfort that iSocket gives you.

Remember, the cost of the damage from a power outage can be considerably more than the cost of a solution that will send you power outage notifications. And remember, power failure alerting is not the only feature iSocket offers you.
