NOTE: The list below is for informational purposes only and describes hardware tested by our device experts. emnify does not require your device to be certified by emnify. All local certification requirements continue to apply (CE, FCC, PTCRB etc.) and please check this certification with the device vendor.
Various modems are being tested continuously with our SIM cards for their basic connectivity and IMSI switch interoperability. Below is a summary list of results to be used as a quick look up. This page is being updated with the new test results.
The modems are tested on the evaluation boards from their own manufacturers. The tests are performed in Berlin, Germany. Due to unavailability of 3G networks in Germany, 3G connectivity tests cannot be done.

Could not connect it to NB-IoT networks in presence of LTE-M networks even with manual attach. Besides, this modem does not function well in the absence of LTE-M and NB-IoT networks where 2G GSM is available only. This is due to its "better RAT search" functionality with the priority list as CAT-M > NB-IOT > GSM. This functionality cannot be switched off and it causes unhealthy network connections. |

Works well with manual operator selection (AT+COPS=1). Automatic mode AT+COPS=0 is not efficient.
Note: Use SIMCom specific AT command to configure the APN instead of 3GPP standard AT+CGDCONT: AT*MCGDEFCONT="IP","em" |
