All EPOS® installations require a clear view of the sky across the entire lawn to receive satellite signals. However, different Automower® models handle weak satellite signal in different ways:

• Models with AI vision technology use the camera for backup navigation. target="_blank">Learn more about Automower® models with AI vision technology.
• Other Automower® NERA models can use a support wire to guide the mower in areas with weak satellite coverage. Learn more about EPOS® Support by Wire.

EPOS via Husqvarna Cloud requires a stable internet connection, either through Wi-Fi or mobile connectivity, across the entire work area to receive the necessary correction data for the mower to calculate its position. Whether you are checking connectivity in your lawn before deciding which Automower® model to purchase, or if you already own one and want to test internet coverage in your lawn, consider the following methods:

With your smartphone

• Wi-Fi signal: A smartphone can be used to first check the Wi-Fi reception quality in the lawn. The phone should indicate at least two bars in all lawn areas in order for the robotic lawn mower to operate reliably.
• Mobile signal: Since the mower and the smartphone use different mobile technologies and networks for connectivity, the phone’s signal indication may not be reliable. Learn more about mobile connectivity here.

With the mower’s display

Drive your robotic lawn mower with the appDrive throughout your lawn to test the Wi-Fi and mobile network coverage. The mower display should indicate at least two bars in order to ensure reliable operation when using EPOS via Husqvarna Cloud.

With the Automower® Connect app

Once EPOS via Husqvarna Cloud is enabled in the Automower® Connect app, the reception quality of the correction data is also indicated in the app. The cloud icon should show at least two bars in order to ensure reliable operation.
