NRF9160 LTE NETWORK THINGS MOBILE ITALY

[Funyc]

I PURCHASED A SIM OF THE THINGHS MOBILE BECAUSE IBASIC DOES NOT WORK.

I HAVE LAUNCHED ASSET TRACKER AND THE NRF9160 DOES NOT CONNECT. LTE FLASHES IN YELLOW.

IS THERE A PROCEDURE FOR THESE SIMS?

Hi Nicola,

First I would recommend you to update the modem firmware to the latest version: v1.1.0

Since Italy does only support NB-IoT at the moment you need to start the modem in NB-IoT mode. (it defaults in LTE-M)

Please send the following AT-Commands:

AT+CFUN=4
AT%XSYSTEMMODE=0,1,1,0
AT%XEPCO=0
AT+CFUN=1

This will set the modem in offline mode, then switch to NB-IoT tech. and also say to the modem to use legacy PCO (since some networks do not support ePCO)

Best regards,

Martin L.

Thank you. It works.

But is there a way to connect it automatically without having to send the at commands?

How should the program be modified?
