You can start at the top, or you can start at the most basic level - whichever fits your needs today. Then, when you are ready, you can upgrade to ensure your future needs are covered. Simply choose the functionality that suits your requirements today, and even if that is at Geist's current most sophisticated level, their future solutions approach will allow you to upgrade at a future date.  - **Basic.** Should your facility not yet be ready for any power monitoring, but it is something you are thinking about for the future, then you can start with the basic upgradeable unit. No IMD is included with the device, but the technology is included within the power strip. - **Metered.** Metered PDUs offer local power monitoring and support VLC technology using the Geist Mobile App. - **Power Monitoring.** A PDU that offers power monitoring: the perfect first step towards PDU increased functionality.  - **Power Monitoring + Remote Sensing.** The latest IMD allows remote power monitoring and also enables you to connect up to four remote sensors - ideal for installations requiring environmental monitoring.
