We haven’t tried SQL specific models actually. That’s quite a good idea. Will try it out. Yeah it mostly seems to be inconsistent at generating the SQL queries themselves. I guess my question was if this is even a good way to do it in the f

Voice is possible over LTE-M but it’s sort of the wrong technology for it. It’s designed for low power so the data rate is quite slow and the latency won’t work for two people trying to talk to each other. It’s a similar speed to Bluetooth

Completely understand. This is really good feedback. I can start off by saying that there will absolutely be a free tier within the platform where you can buy a board and that’ll include some amount of data allowance per month. It’ll also i

It’s the nRF9151 from Nordic. We’ll include a detailed section on the SoC and a full schematic once the documentation is up The platform as you said aims to abstract away a lot of these details (though they’ll still be available if needed).

The SoC we use will also be gaining support for non-terrestrial networks soon. It’s the same feature that new iPhones have for Satellite based SOS when you’re outside of cell range. We’re not sure when it’ll be ready yet, or what the power

It’s a massive rabbit hole! Thankfully LTE Cat-M1 that we use is much simpler than full blown LTE, but even still, the most iteration we’ve had to do is around the antenna system. Huge number of frequencies and bandwidths to support and muc

The way the scripting engine is designed is such that it’s not really a problem to iterate in the field. If your code has an error, simply adjust and restart the script. Sure if you have the device hooked up to motors which could break thin

Not yet, but next week we should be getting a batch of PCBs with better tuned antennas. Fingers crossed if the performance is good, we will send them out to test in different regions. If you have an nRF9151-DK though, we could provide a fir

We’re actually looking at a few energy harvesting ICs designed for solar. They usually charge up an onboard super capacitor that can be used for infrequent transmissions. If it works out, we might add it into a future version of the board,

Yep! GPS is already built in

Probably since no one has abused this mechanism yet. I’m sure if people start trying to vacuum up inactive accounts, it might become a problem
