Can you confirm that you received a new email with a download link?

According to the admin for the download page they can see that you have applied and that your preferences were not update in the system. They ask if they can update this manually but needs to have confirmation from you due to GDPR. Do you accept that admin updates the data for you?

Yes, I'm using the same email ID for license signup & devzone.

Hello,

[quote user="pranav-ether"]I signed up for the newsletter and applied for the licence again now. How long does it take to approve the licence?[/quote]

Are you using the same email as your DevZone account?

[quote user="pranav-ether"]Will there be any major difference in performance of supl client (supl.google.com) and nRF Cloud's AGNSS?[/quote]

Here are the key differences between SUPL (Secure User-Plane Location) and nRF Cloud A-GNSS (Assisted GNSS):

Data Efficiency: The nRF Cloud A-GNSS library is more efficient to use compared to the SUPL library. It requires less memory on the device.
Data Security: nRF Cloud A-GNSS uses encrypted data transmission, while SUPL uses a plain socket connection.
Satellite Support: nRF Cloud A-GNSS supports assistance for both GPS and QZSS satellites, whereas SUPL is limited to GPS only.
Licensing: No licenses are required from external vendors to use nRF Cloud A-GNSS. For commercial use of SUPL, you must obtain a license.
Integration: The nRF Cloud A-GNSS library is highly integrated into Nordic Semiconductor's IoT cloud platform, making it easier to use within the Nordic ecosystem.
Optimization: The A-GNSS solution available through nRF Cloud has been optimized for embedded devices to reduce protocol overhead and data usage, resulting in reduced data transfer time, power consumption, and data costs.

It's worth noting that both SUPL and nRF Cloud A-GNSS serve the same primary purpose of providing assistance data to improve GNSS performance, particularly in reducing Time to First Fix (TTFF). However, nRF Cloud A-GNSS appears to offer several advantages in terms of efficiency, security, and integration within the Nordic Semiconductor ecosystem.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

I have looked into nRF Cloud's offerings and the plan is to use supl client for prototyping and nRF Cloud for production later. Will there be any major difference in performance of supl client (supl.google.com) and nRF Cloud's AGNSS?

Hello,

We would recommend using the nRF Cloud A-GNSS library. Have you looked at this?
