A dedicated controller connection
The module communicates with a compatible master through its dedicated interface. This connection brings the module’s data and control signals into the controller configuration.

AXON LTERev 0.15Ready for use
AXON LTE adds cellular connectivity to compatible master configurations. The modem, SIM slot, antenna connection and local power circuitry are combined in a separate module for AXON installations that use a mobile network connection.

Another way to connect your building.
Cellular communication is planned around coverage, the operator and the installation configuration. The module complements a compatible controller where the project calls for this connection.
Residential buildingsConnectivity to suit the building infrastructure
Where the access control configuration calls for a mobile network, the module brings that connection to a compatible building controller. The SIM and antenna are selected around coverage at the installation site.
Entrances and garagesCommunication at the installation point
At entrances or garages where the project includes cellular connectivity, the module is mounted with the controller. Antenna position and signal coverage are part of the connection plan.
Distributed installationsA configuration for each location
For multiple buildings or access points, operator and network settings are organised by location. Cellular communication complements the architecture chosen for each installation.
AXON LTE
Choose the connection around the site.
Buildings do not all have the same network infrastructure. AXON LTE is the cellular module in the AXON family for compatible configurations where the controller connects through a mobile operator. It can form part of an access control project for residential buildings, entrances, elevators or garages.
The module combines cellular connectivity, a SIM slot and an antenna connection in a unit mounted next to the controller. Data and control signals pass through the dedicated connection between the module and the master.
Using the connection requires planning for coverage, the antenna, the SIM and operator settings. These are selected for the specific installation, together with how the controller uses its communication links.
From the controller to the mobile network.
The module has separate interfaces for controller communication, the mobile network and local servicing.
SIM slot and antenna connection
The board provides a SIM slot and an antenna connection. Coverage and installation needs determine the operator, service plan and antenna position.
USB-C for servicing
The USB-C port is used to service the modem. Board power comes from the controller’s 12 V interface; USB-C does not power the module.
Power and mounting alongside the controller.
The controller connection carries both power and communication for the module. Position, orientation and mounting clearance are defined as part of the installation.
Power from the controller interface
The module receives 12 V from the appropriate interface on a compatible master. Its power requirements are planned together with the controller and the installation’s use of cellular connectivity.
Part of the system configuration
Cellular connectivity is selected around the building’s needs and how the controller communicates with AXON services. Operator settings and network use are defined in the installation configuration.
Defined mounting and orientation
The module connects to the master’s matching connector and standoffs. Disconnect power before fitting or removing it, keep the connector correctly oriented and maintain clearance between the boards.
Keep the master connected to everyday administration.
LTE provides a network route for the compatible master. Cards, access decisions and device management remain functions of the AXON master and platform.
Updates across connected masters
While the cellular connection is available, the master can exchange card, permission and configuration updates with the platform in real time, alongside other connected masters. A site without communication receives remote changes after the link is restored.
Remote administration of selected points
The platform manages schedules, validity and payment-linked permissions, gives residents advance notice on their phones and lets administrators deactivate selected readers or subordinate nodes. LTE carries the connected master’s traffic; the module itself does not store card permissions or process payments.
Encrypted communication with the platform
The master uses encrypted cloud links over the selected network connection. Subordinate-device communication is encrypted on the local system side. SIM service, mobile coverage, antenna placement and the compatible master configuration are planned for the installation.

Practical questions
Does it need a SIM and mobile service?
The module has a SIM interface. Connecting to the mobile network requires an appropriate operator service and configuration, based on coverage and the installation location.
Can USB-C power the module?
USB-C is for servicing. The module receives power through the master’s 12 V interface.
Does the system automatically switch from Ethernet to LTE?
The controller configuration determines how connections are selected and used. Adding an LTE module does not by itself provide automatic switching between networks.
Can I install it while the controller is powered on?
Disconnect the power before fitting or removing the module. Align the connector correctly and secure the module with the appropriate standoffs.
Does LTE handle cards, payments or output nodes?
The compatible master and platform perform those roles. LTE supplies the network connection used to exchange updates and remote commands while the cellular service is available. It does not turn the module into a reader, relay node or payment processor.
