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 …

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 tryi…

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 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 …

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. …

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 wor…

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

Show HN: LTE-connected IoT module with remote programming and NL data analysis
Hi HN! I've been working on this IoT platform that aims to simplify deploying remote sensor networks by combining pre-configured LTE hardware with a cloud platform for remote progr…
