NB-IoT or LTE-M for short interval transmissions?
-
Hello everybody,
I have to transmit measurement data to my own database via POST-requests every minute (I've written code for my GPy sending data to a website using WiFi and urequest.py. The site is looking like this https://www.mywebsite.com/data.php). I've checked the following sites to answer my question myself:
https://pycom.io/lets-talk-networks-lte-m-and-nb-iot/
The first link mentions the following for NB-IoT:
Specifically, IoT projects that only need to send small amounts of data with long intervals in between.
I only send small amounts of data per minute (Around 300 to 400 Bytes). My intervals between transmissions are short though and it doesn't really make sense for me to disconnect from the network, because I have to send the next data package in a minute again. According to the knowledge I've gathered through both of these articles, I guess I should use LTE-M? I would love to use urequest.py again to just do simple POST-requests to a php-script and as far as I've understood, LTE-M and NB-IoT support DNS: https://forum.pycom.io/topic/4247/dns-now-working-a-list-documentation-of-all-lte-nb1-nb-iot-lte-m-lte-catm1-operators-around-the-world
I appreciate any advise!
Kind regards
