NB-IoT in Austria
-
Hi Dom,
Firstly, you need Band 8 support for Vodafone Australia. This is currently not supported in the existing FiPy firmware. There is an upgrade coming, but you might need to srnd your FiPy back to Pycom. See annocements elsewhere in the forum.
Secondly, you need to contact Vadafone to obtain correct SIMs and access details.
Good luck.
Cheers.
Peter.

yes Austria not Australia...
The APN data is from the provider and they said they activated NB-IoT in my area. The bad thing is that they didn't test it with pycom devices.. so thats the reason why i ask here for help :)

@dommei What is the result of:
lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEREG?')You may have to wait for a while, until the device attaches, and obviously you need a specific SIM for NB-IoT.
Edit: Looking at the press announcement, it is likely that they use Band 8 (900 MHz band). This is not supported by the Pycom devices yet. You have to send them back to Pycom for an fix. See this post: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/3843/important-news-regarding-cat-m1-and-nb-iot-cellular-range

@robert-hh The return value of AT+CEREG? is 2.4
-
@dommei 2,4 means:
2: scanning with unsolicited messages enabled
4: unknown (e.g. out of E-UTRAN coverage)
So: not attached -
If a lack of band 8 support, this is the same problem that I have with Vodafone Australia!
I am waiting for a response to my RMA request.
Peter.

@dommei That's means: "not registered, MT is not currently searching an operator to register to". At my device, it toggles between 2,0 and 2,2. The response you need is 2,1 or 2,5.
The AT command set document is here: https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/gitbook-28427.appspot.com/o/assets%2F-LIL0iGdl11z7Jos_jpX%2F-LKN7scqKKkb6TqB3uYO%2F-LKN866sBhZY7wCqpQPA%2Fmonarch_4g-ez_lr5110_atcommands_referencemanual_rev3_noconfidential.pdf?generation=1534782117167775&alt=media
