eSTS-E
SimulCharge™, Ethernet Adapter with RBM Technology for Samsung Micro USB Mobile Devices
$84.99 / Web Price
The eSTS-E provides compatible Samsung Micro USB mobile devices* with SimulCharge™ and Ethernet. SimulCharge™ ensures the mobile device can simultaneously access the adapter’s wired network connection while it is charging. The adapter also features Network Recovery & Battery Modulation (RBM) technology.
Battery Modulation protects the mobile device’s battery from constant overcharging, which can degrade the battery over time and shorten its lifespan. Meanwhile, Network Recovery can recover a wired Ethernet connection if it unexpectedly drops out.
How the eSTS-E Works
The eSTS-E adapter provides compatible Samsung Micro USB mobile devices* with simultaneous charging and access to data (SimulCharge™). It features wired Ethernet connectivity and RBM technology.
The eSTS-E’s Ethernet port provides a reliable 10/100-capable wired network connection that is more stable than Wi-Fi.
Robust Battery Protection
Battery Modulation protects the mobile device from overcharging and its battery from bloating, which can cause severe damage to the device. The LAVA Tablet Manager (LTM) app, installed on the mobile device, monitors the battery level and users can set upper and lower charging thresholds for the battery. When the battery charges to the higher threshold, the adapter turns off charging and the mobile device is allowed to discharge until it hits the lower threshold. This ensures the battery never overcharges, even if it is left plugged in 24/7. Battery Modulation extends the lifespan of both the battery and device for a better return on investment.
Wired Network Recovery and Other Features
Network Recovery provides a failsafe system to recover the wired network connection if it drops out.
If the connection is lost for more than a few minutes, the LTM app sends a command to reset the Ethernet portion of the adapter to re-establish the connection. It’s the equivalent of unplugging the Ethernet cable and then plugging it back in. This feature is also configurable through the LTM app.
RBM also features Screen Brightness Management, which lets customers set a daytime and night-time brightness level through the LTM app, as a way to combat overheating. This allows for the mobile device to have a bright display during the day when the business is open and a dimmer display at night after it closes. The display is one of the biggest sources of heat for a mobile device. Excess heat puts additional strain on the battery and can also accelerate battery bloating. Dimming the display during off-hours significantly reduces its heat generation, prolonging the lifespan of the device.
The adapter comes with a casing and a Micro USB to Micro USB cable to connect the mobile device. This custom LAVA cable must not be extended or replaced with a third-party one. Doing so will cause the mobile device to stop working.
The Micro USB-B power port is rated for the standard 5 volts at 2 amps. It is recommended to use the charging cable that came with the mobile device**.
*The eSTS-E is not compatible with all Samsung mobile devices. Please see the list of tested Samsung devices.
** A separate power supply is not included.
