FYI - we managed to get our LoRa gateway to hook up with the IoT Creators’s LNS

Thanks for your DM Florian. Ordering process for SIMs works again.

Thanks Afzal,

Do I understand correct that if you have an account only the registered IMEIs are costs-charged? So e.g. :

• Somebody steals my SIM cards,

• I deregister the related IMEIs in our account and we are no longer charged once deregistered

• The thiefs could re-use the SIM card in their own TMO account and be charged for usage :-)
  (and in the end we only need to get some new SIMs?)

Is that how it works?

Hi,

We normally use band 8 to connect to TMO NB-IoT network.
However I am curious which other bands are supported for NB-IoT devices.

For 4G (T-mobile) I see band 1,3, 8 and 20. Check the following link:

https://antennekaart.nl/kaart/4g?lat=52.20915826&lng=5.95579147&zoom=14&providers=t-mobile

However simple test shows that we can only connect to band 8. Is that the only band in NL for now?

Thnx

@MarcoPeli thanks for the feedback.

So replacing the APN “cdp.iot.t-mobile.nl” with “m2m.public.nl” should do the trick?

Quick question: is it possible that a NB-IoT device connects directly to a public IP address?

Thnx

3GPP and finding the right docs is always challenging and time consuming :-). But once you know the doc number it is well managed and organized to download it:

I assume you looking for R13 information? The following TS may be interesting

• TS36.331

However I have no clue at what power levels the MIBs and SIBs are broadcasted. (afaik you need to sync and collect some info before you can send out the RRC Connection Setup Request)

Maybe somebody else here has more radio experience and knows?

Thanks for confirming. I was confused by the information I found in the link (see above)

Hi,

There is a possibility to hook up LoRa devices and gateways to the iotcreators portal (see also Uta’s LI message (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ugcPost-6858351496111648768-8UzE)

My understanding is that you have the LNS up and running and I have to add my LoRaWAN gateway. In order to prepare I would like to know which protocol between the GW <-> LNS is used and what other info your require?

Thnx

Thanks for the feedback. Hope it is solved in the coming days.
