Without Wi-Fi, subscriptions and 4G
The 1500 navigates by LiDAR + vision with no RTK. The 3000/5000 use iNavi NetRTK, which needs 4G or Wi-Fi during mowing; Mammotion states iNavi stays free for life and still works over 4G after the free data ends — only remote/anti-theft features lapse. Mammotion UK still sells £49.90/yr 4G renewals, so get this confirmed in writing before relying on it.
Paid renewal (£49.90/yr after 3 free years) keeps remote control, live video and anti-theft tracking. Mammotion states iNavi NetRTK navigation is free for the product lifetime and keeps working over 4G or Wi-Fi after the free data ends.
