Awareness hero

Aware. When You're Not There.™

Standard routers just connect, but OptConnect aware™ actually pays attention. Built-in sensors stream raw data so machine learning can map what's normal. If an incident requires action, aware triggers self healing and automatic carrier failover — while automated AI instantly surfaces anything unusual like temperature spikes or movement.

Protecting your equipment from anywhere: that’s the power of aware.

Why you need awareness

Extreme temps. Humidity. Tampering. Power outages or someone unplugging the wrong cord.

Any one of these can knock connectivity offline and disrupt business operations instantly. And if  you’re not on-site, even small issues can spiral into costly downtime and truck rolls.

That’s why Aware Intelligence™ is at the core of every OptConnect aware device. Powered by machine learning, your network is now smart enough to learn what’s normal for your specific deployment and generate an alert in the event of an environmental anomaly.

And if your device is physically moved, Aware Rapid View™ detects any bump or tilt and shows GPS and sensor updates every 10 to 30 seconds. Whether it’s a technician performing maintenance, a smart safe being relocated, or a -tampering attempt, you get immediate visibility.

How you become aware

Thanks to built-in sensors, each router in the OptConnect aware series keeps you alerted to environmental conditions in and around your connected equipment. Getting started with OptConnect aware is as simple as plugging in your device — with no additional hardware to install and no complicated pairing process. 

  1. Built-In Security – Gain lifetime access to critical hardware health alerts (like real-time power-loss notifications) at no additional cost.

  2. Personalized Environmental Control – Simply log into Summit to choose exactly how and when you want to be alerted, so you receive only the notifications that matter most to your operations.

What awareness looks like in Summit

In Summit, it’s easy to track environmental conditions in real time for your aware devices. You can also set your own customized safety thresholds, monitor power events, and see trends over time.

During critical incidents, you can see the full story around light, sound, temperature, humidity, power, and motion in a single glance (e.g., the machine was bumped, sound levels changed, and light was detected). Just head to your Devices page and tap the Awareness tab.

Hardware health: proactive protection for your aware device

At OptConnect, we prioritize the ongoing health and performance of every aware device in the field. Our intelligent monitoring system shares real-time alerts to help keep your device operating within safe parameters.

You will now receive critical alerts in the following scenarios:

If your OptConnect aware router approaches its maximum safe operating temperature, you’ll be notified before it automatically powers down to maintain performance and longevity.

If your OptConnect aware router runs beyond the expected battery usage window, you’ll receive an alert before it initiates a controlled shutdown to preserve battery health.

In the rare event that a battery anomaly is detected, we’ll notify you with next steps, including access to a warrantied battery replacement if needed.

Note: Simply enable notifications inside the Summit platform to automatically receive these alerts.

Ran Margalit

CEO at ShelfX

I would recommend OptConnect because it works right out of the box, it’s easy to set up, and we have zero issues. Though we appreciate having access to 24/7 customer support, we haven’t even needed it because of how well the product works.

Dan Leary

Founder and CEO at Denowatts

We’ve never offered a cellular option with our service because it’s typically very complex, but OptConnect makes it simple. I know if I make a call I can have a product shipped to me quickly. Nobody offers a better, fully-integrated cellular solution.
