@shedaim There is a problem in the lte.attach() API concerning parsing the response from the network. @xykon adresses this in a trial firmware build at [LINK NO LONGER AVAILABLE] Please download and install that (install from file). It may fix you problem. See also this thread around https://forum.pycom.io/topic/3549/important-update-regarding-lte-modem-updates/83

@robert-hh Many thanks. :)

After >18 hours of connecting the last device finally started working with the network. I have no idea what happened, because I made no changes to anything. The only thing I can say is that the commands I have in the first post should be enough and be patient with it as it can take >24 hours to find signal and connect.

@eric-waai We have successfully connected to our Huawei eNodeB based NB-IoT network in Norway with modem firmware revision 37781. For some reason the 38729 firmware revision is not working. Our NB-IoT network is deployed in guard band.

Hi @agotsis, Please check this post for more info about this issue. Hope this helps!

@le_wildfox I'm not very familiar with NB-IoT, but from what I understand, it is quite specifically designed to not offer great throughput or latency, as the priority is low power. The peak rate is between 20 and 250 kbits/s, and latency is counted in seconds... Not sure exactly what you expect to get...

Hi! "Full support for Huawei is planned for early Q2 2018" --> is there any update for this? Is it now supported? Thanks!

Is there any release date for the support of PSM and eDRX features? If you cant keep up with the amount of work you have to deliver, maybe you should think something like bounties for most requested features by your community.

@electronic CoAP is the protocol of choice in NB-IOT and used where the carrier offers a “connected device platform” (sometimes the only option, as some operators don’t even give UDP access)

@jmarcelino I am still in need of a way to use NB-IoT on fipy. Is there a way to achive it? As I can see others have the same problem as me, so can we have some update on the state of the matter?

@bettina Hi Bettina, I am based in Australia and developing a remote flood monitoring solution using LoPy4 (soon to be FiPy). I have plans to work with Vodafone locally and wish to get a proof of concept together using NB-IoT. Can you share information about the outcomes of the NB-IoT workshop to help get me started. I have systems working with Sigfox and LoRaWAN. Now just want to adapt to test with NB-IoT. Cheers Peter.

@paul-thornton said in FiPy NB-IOT Example Codes for beta network testing: @mfa2214 We can support Huawei, but it depends what feature set the network operators enable to how well this will work :) Hi all, I'm trying to attach the "webe aka unifi" as network operators in Malaysia using band 5. unfortunately, modem still cannot attached and fipy also cannot listening the base station (Huawei e-nobe-b). below is the error i got: lte.connect() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: LTE modem version not read lte.connect() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OSError: modem not attached Currently using FiPy-1.18.1.r7 as the modem f/w. Still do not know what happend. Hopefully someone could help. Many thanks

@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! Scott

I saw your updated NB-IoT section in the documentation and would like to clarify one thing. Does below mean that an NB-IoT connection between GPy and my AMRI LTE 100 is not possible as of this moment? Current NB-IoT limitations At the moment the NB-IoT firmware supplied by Sequans only support Ericsson base stations configured for In-Band mode. Standalone and guard-band modes will be supported in a later release. Support for Huawei base stations is also limited and only lab testing with Huawei eNodeB is recommended at the moment. Full support for Huawei is planned for early Q2 2018.

@combaindeft I finally found the time to test this and it works indeed! Just a heads up, Google DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, not 4.4.4.4 :)
