How Does the Optovera Device Connectivity Work?

The Optovera device is designed for flexible connectivity according to client needs. By default, devices are delivered without a SIM card or mobile data plan. Internet access can be established in two ways:

• Wi-Fi: using the client’s own network.

• SIM card: clients may insert their own SIM card with a data plan if mobile connectivity is needed.

Connectivity during testing

• The test can be executed with or without an internet connection.

• If connected (Wi-Fi or client SIM):

  • Results are synced automatically to the cloud platform.

  • Supervisors can view results in real time on the dashboard.

• If offline:

  • Results are stored locally on the dedicated smartphone.

  • Sync happens automatically once connectivity is restored.

Connectivity for user updates

• Every time a new worker is enrolled on the dashboard, the device must connect to the internet to download the updated user list.

• The device communicates with the client’s domain to ensure only authorized users appear.

• Without connection, new users will not be available until sync is completed.

Why connectivity matters in HSE

• Enables real-time information, reducing wait times and speeding up decision-making.

• Allows supervisors to act preventively by checking results immediately.

• Ensures smooth enrollment of new workers without operational delays.

Best practices for HSE supervisors

• Set up a stable and secure Wi-Fi network at each checkpoint.

• In field operations with no Wi-Fi, consider using a client SIM card with a data plan.

• Check daily to ensure the device has synced all results with the platform.

Conclusion

Optovera devices come without SIM or data plan but offer dual connectivity through Wi-Fi or client SIM. This flexibility ensures all test results and user lists are always updated — enabling faster, more efficient risk management.
