<Guest828> Hello, Can anyone please help me find right cellular modem with cape for Australia for BBB?
<set_> The closest I found is the SDR Cape but who knows? It may be out there somewhere. I have not seen a cell modem Cape yet.
<set_> What pins do you need for cell modem stuff, i.e. I/O, UART, i2c?
<set_> Here is that Cape, https://www.seeedstudio.com/KiwiSDR-Board-p-2723.html , in case you see something on it you can use.
<Guest828> I will use I/O that will be much easier

<set_> One can use just I/O on the BBB for cellular data? Nice.
<set_> I figured you would need at least UART to handle transmission from the am335x to the Cape or module.
<set_> 3.3v cellular module may work...if you have your p's and q's in order.
<set_> That may work. I am still researchin' this idea real quickly.
<set_> It is 5v. Blah. But...one can use different circuits to handle the dc/dc conversion.
<set_> And...UART is usually done in 3.3v anyway.
<Guest828> I will check that out. Thank you:)
<set_> I think that is as cheap as they come.
<set_> You are welcome.
<set_> It says "microcontrollers" from 3 to 5v. BBB is in!
<set_> You can use the BBB hopefully. I am sure there is a large datasheet somewhere that has better ideas than I can provide.

<set_> Guest828: I also found some from Digi and the XBee people.
<Guest828> I need cellular modem with wide frequency range so that I don't have to stick to one service provider
<set_> Do not get that one...it says it cannot be used in the AUS.
<set_> There was a tip at the end of the info.
<set_> Guest828: I found this neat set up for AUS in mouser.com: https://au.mouser.com/c/i/embedded-solutions/wireless-rf-modules/?operating+supply+voltage=3.3+V
<set_> They must provide a service in that country.
<set_> Anyway...I found some from Digi. They have XBee 3G, LTE-M embedded modules, and some more.
<set_> Neat. I have to get one for cellular now. Thank you...I am such a sucker for making things work properly.
<set_> Guest828: What bands are allowed in AUS?
<Guest828> https://mobilenetworkguide.com.au/australian_mobile_phone_frequencies.html#:~:text=In%20Australia%20the%20current%20mobile,the%20850%20and%20900%20bands.
<set_> Oh. Y'all have many. Okay.
<set_> 3G`
<set_> I see...
<set_> So, it was 900/1800 for a long time.
<set_> Are you looking for 2100MHz?
<set_> Or, like you said, one that has many different available frequencies?
<set_> Forget it. You guys got everything.
<set_> I was thinking you all had a severe shortage of frequencies and bands available. Blah.
<set_> Towers!
<set_> in '97, the market was different. Way different. No market.
<set_> Ha.
<set_> Now, it is like a common courtesy to text a person, i.e. even when they are next door. Ha.
<Guest828> It would be better to have as many frequencies as possible so that I can use it in other countries too.
<set_> oh. got it.
<Guest828> I highly appreciate your help
<set_> Well, I wish you luck. That 3.3v au.mouser.com site has many items for selling. I think making one would be easy enough too.
<set_> That sim card is probably tricky...well. I think the GPS/Cellular/Freq. card is the most of the cost.
<set_> I met that guy once who made Nextel. It was an older co. in the US. He ran for senator and won. He is still around saying this and that on our laws.

<set_> Sorry. Mark Warner is his name. He is a senator for VA now. he started/owned some telecommunications co.

<set_> Anyway...so. Guest828: Would you like me to find one w/ many different frequencies?
<set_> Bored over here.
Guest828 has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<set_> Yay!
<set_> The XBee modem can handle AT commands and can be controlled via SPI. The BBB has SPI.
<set_> I wonder what the source looks like for a SPI command along w/ AT commands in Python...hmm.
<set_> Dang...one would need a TCP source, SIM source, Modem source, Client source, and then the source to handle a SMS/email sending.
<set_> I hope Guest828 knows his way around cellular tech. That is difficult biz.

<zmatt> lol
<zmatt> last release was 2019-01-27 ... sounds unmaintained
set_ has joined #beagle
<zmatt> oh they actually say it's legacy and replaced by this OpenVINO thing
<zmatt> this thing sounds rather heavy for an AM335x regardless?
<zmatt> oh, the actual computation is done by an external compute stick?
