GlobalLink 520 & 530

The GlobalLink 520 and 530 both offer built-in global connectivity with a 5-year prepaid SIM card, which can be extended after expiry. This ensures continuous, hassle-free remote monitoring through the VRM Portal, without the need for extra contracts or SIM cards.

The difference between the GlobalLink 520 and GlobalLink 530 is their cellular connectivity. The GlobalLink 520 uses LTE-M, a low-power cellular technology designed specifically for IoT applications. While LTE-M is an excellent fit in supported regions, its availability is limited in many parts of the world. The GlobalLink 530 uses standard 4G LTE connectivity—the same network technology used by smartphones—and also supports 2G as a fallback where available. This provides broader global coverage and greater deployment flexibility.

Both the GlobalLink 520 and 530 support RuuviTag temperature sensors. These battery-powered sensors connect via Bluetooth and are easy to set up with the VictronConnect app. Data such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure from the RuuviTag sensors is directly mirrored to the VRM portal.

The Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal gives you access to your installation anytime, anywhere, over an internet connection. In the VRM portal, you can monitor the status of your connected products, view detailed graphs of your energy consumption and production, generate analytical reports, and set up automatic alarms to prevent issues.
