IMAGINE A PLACE…
…where you can belong to an IoT Creators community.
Where you and all fellow creators can chat about the internet of things.
A place that makes it easy to find likeminded people, share knowledge, get support and join events together.

Dear IoT Friends,
are you interested in tools and services to validate your end-to-end solution setup?
Remember, what computer-aided engineering was for automotive 15 years ago? We wouldn’t have cars driving autonomously if we hadn’t done CAE. We can offer you our IoT Solution Optimizer tool as a simulator for your project. You can get a lot of insights in the expected performance of your solution already BEFORE building the first prototypes!
iotcreators.iotsolutionoptimizer.com/Services
IoT Solution Optimizer is about:
Leveraging virtual twin technology to accelerate IoT product design for performance
Comparing implementation choices in seconds and assessing optimization recommendations
Take hardware components off the shelf --> model your specific use case --> see battery lifetime 
Please share your feedback with us:
if you like thie idea of a virtual twin or not
what is your use case
which problem do you want to solve
Free giveaway: We offer you two-week-test licenses for this tool and we will hand these out to the first 20 users who will share their thoughts in the comment section 
Thanks,
Uta
If all the AT commands are way too hard to remember for you and if you struggle with finding quickly what you need to make your device talk, then we’ve got something for you: good old cheat sheets.
Whatever the reason is that you read this forum post:
make use of this section of our doclib: AT command cheat sheets and please let us know whether it is helpful 
for you or not 
.
The GSMA offers a “Mobile IoT Deployment Map”. You can click on a country and see various information per technology type e.g. which operator deployed that network type and even URL’s of the operators’ maps for that country (if the MNO made it available). GSMA is improving and enhancing it continuously.
@Michal-Szwajdo our UDP adapter seems to have received your messages but we need to look closer on that. We’ll come back to you on Monday!
Hi MeneerJacco,
I don’t know the exact answer for you, I apologise. But didn’t want to let you waiting either. May I provide you with a link for further technical deep-dive on the matter: please look at our technology cards here
You will find a lot of knowledge around power saving features, just open the required section
In case that didn’t help you please reach out again and I’m gonna find someone on our end on Monday.
Have a nice weekend,
Uta
eDRX for the NB-IoT Network of Deutsche Telekom in Germany has now been officially launched!
@magnatron I created the page in our doclib. Thanks for the hint
Bulk Registration of Devices
@Inter-Act if you work on automatic mode, the modem would scan through the whole PLMN until it finds a network. This can take 10 mins or more even on NB-IoT. And Telekom DE is in the PLMN. What is the error code?

Hi Cees, the APN will always be the same irrespective of th country your devices are in when sending data. The band is always depending on the MNO, that provides the (strongest) signal in the area where your device is located. For roaming cases this needs to be flexible rather than hardcoded, as well as the operator ID.
Instead of Release Notes - IoT Creators - 27.01.2022
Evolution
Here at IoT Creators we work in an agile way. We’ve got amazing developers and tech support on board and we like taking quick decisions after a creative discussion in our team. 
As you know, the agile way of working also requires time for retrospective and time to plan improvements. It’s like when you renovate your flat now and then, get a new couch and coffee table, or even a new flat screen … 
Our DEV team decided to start the new year with throwing out some old carpets and repainting the walls! 
This will help us to be faster and more flexible with our service in 2022.
Now you know, why there’s no new release at the moment. 
Meanwhile you can check out Afzals “2021 -> 2022” video on LinkedIN and/or reach out and let us know what adventures you plan for 2022
@Jeroen-van-Bussel of course you can work on automatic mode, the modem would scan through the whole PLMN list until it finds a network. This can take a while and I agree, it’s the only thing that makes sense for devices in non-static use cases.
Always happy to help! Thanks for your feedback:smiling_face_with_open_mouth:
Hi Kurosh,
08:57:32.505 -> at+cgdcont=1,“IP”,“internet.nbiot.telekom.de”
this APN is for NB-IoT only.
For LTE-M you can use the APN internet.m2mportal.de.
I suspect that between 08:57:57.281 and 08:58:00.579 you get a +CEREG: 0,3 (rejected from network)?
Regards, Uta
Have a look here at some of the hardware that can be modeled with the IoT Solution Optimizer:
Do you know that you can save a lot of time in your IoT development and deployment activities by following our IoT solution guidelines? 
Deutsche Telekom has a team dedicated to continuously improving the network, upgrading it with new features and testing and certifying of modules of all manufacturers to make sure they work well with our networks.
If you additionally respect our simple rules like:
avoid synchronous device behavior - add randomization to your cloud app and firmware
only send wake-up messages to devices that you know are attached to the network (make sure you know the device status)
and some more
you’ll end up with an amazing IoT application and successful business case. We’re here to help you, feel free to add your question as a comment here or contact me via uta@iotcreators.com.
I’ve been in the conference call with all technicians the whole day where we first did the migration successfully and then noticed that the adapters in the platform didn’t cope with the number of messages that came in. The best thing was that every member of several teams in different countries was online the whole time and reachable and it was real teamwork and a very good collaboration between infrastructure experts, software experts, network and cloud experts, testers and project management from our side. I agree to what Afzal said - the number of device messages is very much balanced throughout the whole day even if for a specific project that would be different.
The picture shows traffic pattern from 5.-8.5.2021
Apologies also from my side and I’m here as well to answer all your questions
I’m in contact with a colleague and will post an answer hopefully tomorrow latest.
The maintenance work was finished at 8:45 am today.

@HaraldNaumann maybe you’ve got some advice?
Hi Timo, as @afzal_m mentioned nothing will happen on radio network layer. While using a 1NCE SIM simply the prepaid data volume will be consumed and you might need to top up soon - depending on message size of course.
Please review §7.8 in the 1NCE T&C for proper use of their SIM and possible impact/consequences.
