NB-IoT support

[danielm]

Could Pycom team please provide up-to-date roadmap of NB-IoT support for different eNB technologies?

@jiemde Orange Belgium have Huawei base station so I'm waiting the new firmware for the Monarch chip.

Hi @daniel
Could you tell me if the NB-Iot network from Orange Belgium is supported by Fipy and Gipy ?

Great to hear that this firmware update is coming around 27 March! We will be waiting for it :)

Without NB-IoT support on the FiPy, our project cannot continue.

@jmarcelino
Thank you, are there any known technical details regarding initial support? Which eNB vendors and which bands will be supported?

Hello,

We are expecting a firmware update from Sequans on the 20th of March. A week after that we will make this update available for everyone.

Cheers,
Daniel

I want to follow up on the question. More specifically, what bands are supported by NB-IoT so far?(not all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 28 bands are supported yet, right? ) Currently, there is no firmware API available for using NB-IoT yet, so could you provide some guidance on using AT commands to communicate with NB-IoT? (I have a testing eNB setup using USRP with Amarisoft)
