LTE support for Telia and Telenor (Norway)
-
We have two providers in Norway, Telia and Telenor that both are rolling out LTE-M and LTE-NB these days.
From my understanding you have been in contact with both of these. Do you have a timeframe of when you are able to support one of these? At the moment it could be either CAT-M or CAT-NB as we are in the prototyping stage and could at the moment use either network.

@Gijs @Yoann-Baud any luck here? I'm in Norway and using the same setup. We've had some discussions before but haven't been able to get around this either and any updates on this case you have here that you could share would be very helpful!

Hi,
Yes I will work on your request tomorrow, sorry for the long delay, you caught me in between tasksGijs

Hi @Gijs ,
I upgraded FW to the beta NB-IoT you sendt me. I've seen a small improvement where RRC TOP FSM returns "CONNECTED" during a longer time, but still, it goes back to "DISCONNECTING" and then stucks at "SCANNING" after a while.
I therefore sent an support case to support@pycom.io. I received an email confirming that PyCom is working on it, but they didn't get in touch with me yet. Do you know how long time they use to handle the support request?Reards,
Yoann

Hi,
Thanks for sending that through. Im still not exactly sure why its disconnecting, but we could try a beta NB-IoT modem firmware release (here). Please use one of the update procedures described on this page: https://docs.pycom.io/updatefirmware/ltemodem/
If that does not help, please contact us at support@pycom.io

@Gijs I was able to repeat the FSM state. I had too slow print command; I adjusted from 5 seconds to 0.25 seconds. Interesting fact is that whatever arguments the lte.attach() command gets, the results are the same. I even tried without any arguments, the RRC TOP FSM returns "CONNECTED". Here are the results:

@Gijs : com4 is using Telia's network. If you take a look at the coverage map here:
https://www.telia.no/nett/dekning/
You can see that NB-IoT has good coverage in Oslo region (I'm nearby Asker). No need to test other places :)
The previous FSM state is unfortunately not repeatable . I never had "CONNECTED" state since last time I posted. The RRC TOP FSM status's switching between SCANNING and CAMPED. I let the FiPy ran lte.attach() during 1 hour, without any success to attach :(For further details, I took notes of the following from FSM status:
- Before calling lte.attach(), the RRC TOP FSM status is STOPPED.
- While SCANNING, the RRC SEARCH FSM goes from WAIT_RSSI to WAIT_CELL_ID
3a. The RRC TOP FSM goes from SCANNING to SYNCING
3b. The RRC SEARCH FSM goes from WAIT_CELL_ID to WAIT_SYNC
4a. The RRC TOP FSM goes from SYNCING to CAMPED
4b. RRC SEARCH FSM goes from WAIT_SYNC to CAMPED_ANY
Hoping that could help you in helping me in troubleshooting.

Good to hear the sim is activated with the provider. Im guessing in the dark here as I have not quite seen this state before, but Is the FSM state repeatable for you? Perhaps it helps to let it run for a bit, or shift locations. Perhaps its still with the APN setting. There could be a lot of factors influencing this. I'll check if there's any other options
-
@Gijs : the SIM card has status "activated" on carrier website. I've been in touch with them. They are saying that the SIM card had no contact yet and still witing for 1st attachmenent. I'm wondering if I need to order a LTE-M sim card, just to give it a try...
Do you have any other advice to go further in troubleshooting?
-
The
lte.send_at_cmd("AT+CSQ")will not always return the signal quality before the modem is attached. 99 means 'not known or not detectable' according to the datasheet. In this case, I lean towards the 'not known', as you are able to connect, but either the modem, or the cell disconnects you again. Were you able to check the activation status of the simcard, (maybe somewhere in the online interface of the carrier you'll have to flip a swtich) Im guessing it is related to that.
-
Hi @Gijs ,
I wanted to keep you posted on this topic. My carrier asked me to test signal quality with command lte.send_at_cmd("AT+CSQ"). It retruns 99,99. Do you know what does that means?
I followed the instructions on LTE example: the right model antenna is plugged at the right pin as shown on picture.
-
I will take contact with them. I'll keep you posted @Gijs
-
Hi,
First, I don't see telia listed from command AT+SQNCTM. Is that a concern?
No, not at all. Some carriers require a different setting here, but not all of them
Second, I see from FSM that I'm clearly connected, but the next scan shows disconnecting. Should the loop end if RRC TOP FSM resturns connected? souldn't it?
Yes, that is indeed quite odd. Could you check the APN setting or registration / activation of your simcard with the carrier perhaps? It indeed seems to connect and then disconnect, meaning something in the handshake or registration is probably not correct.

Hi @Gijs ,

Hi,
There is a tutorial available in the docs: https://docs.pycom.io/tutorials/networks/lte/ that works for both NB-IoT and Cat-M1. At the bottom of that page you can find some troubleshooting information. You might have to move to an area with better reception.
Let me know where you're stuck
Best,
Gijs

@jmarcelino said in LTE support for Telia and Telenor (Norway):
Telia's Cat M1
Hi,
I live in Norway and I just received a nano SIM from Com4. They deliver both NB-IoT og LTE-M. The one I get is for NB-IoT and even if my modem on my FiPy is updated to the last firmware (LR6.0.0.0-41019), it doesn't attach to the cellular network.
Unfortunately, there is no tutorial for connecting through NB-IoT on pycom website. I didn't find neither posts on this forum to help me as newbee ;)
Can you tell me if SEQUANS modem supporting NB-IoT Com4 networks (I think they use Telia network).
Do you have any tutorial for connceting FiPy to NB-IoT which could help me?
-
Any success with telenor or telia? I live in sweden and are just getting started.

Hi @jardar
As far as I know Telenor is NB-IoT only, however their network uses Huawei basestations which our modem doesn't yet connect properly to (there's only some preliminary support)
Telia is deploying Cat M1, we're in contact with them and doing some tests but so far have not managed to connect and the issues seem to point again to modem firmware which we need to work with the manufacturer.
Unfortunately I personally cannot give timeframes when either NB-IoT is fully supported on Huawei networks for Telenor or when we'll be able to connect to Telia's Cat M1.
