 1. [ELEGOO UNO R3 Board ATmega328P with USB Cable (Arduino UNO Clone)](https://www.elegoo.com/products/elegoo-uno-r3-board)
 	- Acts as the main board, and is fully compatible with Arduino.

 2. [Botletics™ SIM7000A LTE CAT-M1/NB-IoT + GPS Shield Kit](https://www.botletics.com/products/sim7000-shield)
-	- This kit acts as a modem. It also offers expanability for the future.

 3. [1NCE FlexSIM Card](https://1nce.com/en/sim-cards/)
 	- This pre-paid SIM card is offered for 10 years with a 500 MB limit, making it perfect for low-bandwith IoT devices.
 	- TCP was chosen over SMS, as the 1NCE SIM Card only has an SMS limit of 250 messages, which is not enough for the 10 year period.
 4. [MCIGICM 2 Channel DC 5V Relay Module for Arduino UNO](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BY3KJF?psc=1)
 	- Opto-isolated relay for maximum safety of the outlet.

 5. [Adafruit 328 Lithium Ion Battery, 3.7V, 2500mAh](https://www.adafruit.com/product/328)
-	- Along with the power supply, provides additonal power for activating the relay.
-	- ![battery](media/battery.jpg)
+	- Provides additional current capability during the device start-up.

 For example, with a 300 second heartbeat you will get a notification regarding the connection status with a 12 minute delay in the worst case.
 
+**Checking Signal Quality**
+- The signal quality is measured in dBm as per IEEE RSSI specification. However the device does not return a dBm value. Instead it
