NB-IoT readyness

[bmarkus]

Hi,

does anyone use a PyCom NB-IoT module? Hungarian Telecom (a DT Company) started a pilot in December, now it is possible to play with NB-IoT technology. Any feedback in a similar environment appreciated.

@jmarcelino This will be great. I'm working close with the T-Mobile NL NB-IoT team. Let me know by DM if I can hook you guys up.

@jmarcelino Can you explain the difference between E// and Huawei NB-IoT eNodeBs?

What I know at the moment Quectel BG96 must work.

@bmarkus
We’ll have news around mid January when we complete the first tests of the NB-IoT firmware our LTE chipset manufacturer is providing. Vodafone is one of our earlier partners but we’re talking with T-Mobile/DT as well.

Can you find out which eNodeBs Hungarian Telecom uses? Ericsson or Huwei? Sadly each brand requires different support.

@bmarkus Did you get the Quectel modules to work with the pilot NB-IoT network?

Not yet, but year end was busy. We are on official Quectel distributor and a Telecom partner, support is available from both sides.

NB-IoT firmware will be announced Mid-January according to posts by Pycom folks. Join the waiting club :)

Thanks for the info. In the mean time I will play with Quectel modules.
