For a location with no WIFI, is it possible to link the Purple Air using a cellular signal?

Hi @David_Jacobs, PurpleAir devices can only connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi networks. Connecting directly to cellular networks is not supported. However, you can [connect a device to a cellular hotspot](https://community.purpleair.com/t/reset-the-wifi-network-connection/129#third-option-create-a-hotspot-3) if it’s visible as a 2.4 GHz WiFi network.
