      Hey all,
      Hope everyone is doing OK.
      I’m Jose Marcelino, now working at RAK Wireless. My work is around WisBlock, a new product fully modular way to develop nodes - it’s a bit like those plastic blocks Iwe’ve all played with and shouldn’t mention by name 🙂

      We have a cellular option now (using the newest Quectel BG77) which I’d be testing right now in T-Mobile network but due to virus situation I’m stuck in the UK.

      Can I kindly ask if someone would be willing to test it for us in return for a free kit?

      For the microcontroller part we’ll supply our Nordic nRF52840 module which includes LoRa as well.

      Thank you very much! 🙂

        Very cool! But we should have roaming in UK…
        Wouldn’t you rather test it yourself?

          Hey @afzal_m thanks!
          Sadly the closest city with reliable NB-IoT here is Glasgow, 250km away from me (and that’s only Vodafone, not sure you roam with them)

          UK is so late with NB-IoT that small scale network pilots still makes the news to this day! :face_with_cold_sweat: https://enterpriseiotinsights.com/20200715/channels/news/bt-switches-on-nb-iot-in-uk-to-underpin-largest-smart-water-pilot

          Also as you know there’s a bunch of technical differences between networks. Unlike my previous experience at the Python-esque company I want to support our users with accurate instructions from day 1 if possible.

          Hope this is OK - if you live in one of the “native” DT/T-Mobile coverage areas and willing to work a little bit with us and accept things may not work out of the box please ping me. You’ll not only get the kit but also my personal gratitude 🙂
