IoT Creators integrated with LTE-M and GSM successfully

Roland Baldin

Hi guys,

after we integrated the connectivity from Magenta Austria in the last days with IoT Creators/SCS platform succesfully I tryed with my devkit Quectel BG96 not only NB-IoT but also LTE-M and GSM - unfortunately pure LTE is not supported by the devkit.

It worked immediatly :)

With following AT commands I could connect to our Telekom network in Germany and send UDP messages to our server:

# Set frequency band for Telekom Germany
AT+QCFG="band",0,0,80,1					

# Set our APN
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","scs.telekom.tma.iot"

# Use 0 for GSM  ...
AT+COPS=1,2,"26201",0

# ... or 8 for LTE-M
AT+COPS=1,2,"26201",8

# ... or 9 for NB-IoT
AT+COPS=1,2,"26201",9              

# Connect to our UDP server
AT+QIOPEN=1,1,"UDP","172.27.131.100",15683,1001,0

# Send "hello world" as hex
AT+QISENDEX=1,"48616c6c6f20576f726c64"

This is really cool !!

Cheers, Roland
