I am based in the UK.
I am using an M590e module for a remote weather station. Which parameter should I use for the AT+COPS command? GSM, GSM compact or UTRAN?
Which are available in the UK? Which ones will give me TCP/IP ("The internet")?
Which is the best to use for IoT? Is it different for different providers?
You can check the possible options, if you have a working setup, by the following command :
AT+COPS=?
It will give you the available carriers and the available options usable with them.
Answer format is:
+COPS: [list of supported (<stat>,long alphanumeric
<oper>,short alphanumeric <oper>,numeric <oper>
[,<AcT>])s][,,(list of supported <mode>s),(list of supported <format>s)]
An example answer:
AT+COPS=? +COPS: (1,"E-Plus",,"26203"),(1,"Telekom.de",,"26201"), (1,"Vodafone.de",,"26202"),(1,"o2 - de",,"26207"),,(0-4),(0,2)
tells that supported modes are 0-4, values from this table:
0 GSM
1 GSM Compact
2 UTRAN
3 GSM w/EGPRS
4 UTRAN w/HSDPA
5 UTRAN w/HSUPA
6 UTRAN w/HSDPA and HSUPA
7 E-UTRAN
