Network Performance Measure with Pycom Board



  • Hello,

    I'm currently using GPy + Pysense.
    Does anyone have any idea on how to measure network performance (E.g.: throughput, latency) using Pycom Board?
    I intend to compare wifi & nb-iot performance.

    Thank you for your help.

    Cheers!

  • @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...

    WiFi and NB-IoT are two different kind of animals. I dont't think it has too much sense to compare latency and throughput.

    Hi Markus,

    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, so true.
    But, say, if I want to measure just for the nb-iot, do you think it's possible with a script running on the pycom board?
    Any idea on how to implement that?

    Cheers!
