@Christian Hi Christian, thanks for bearing with us. We indeed had some delay in the delivery, however based on current planning we should be able to activate it by the end of this month. We’ll be able to confirm it in the following weeks.

Release announcement: Activation of NB-IoT network features

Dear IoT Community,

please note that we will soon be activating new features, as well as will update the configuration of already available features in the NB-IoT network. With the transition, you’ll be able to manage your NB-IoT devices even more flexibly and efficiently. The activation is currently planned for beginning of November and will affect our networks in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands.

The changes at a glance:
• Switch to dynamic Power Saving Mode (PSM) - the network will now accept the values suggested by devices
• Switch to dynamic (long-periodic) Tracking Area Update (TAU/LP-TAU) - the network will now accept the values suggested by devices
• Introduction of Data Packet Buffering - the network will buffer up to 10 data packets for the sleeping devices in the PSM

More information can be found in the attached document: Feature Release Communication

If you already use PSM and / or TAU / LP-TAU, then please note that your devices may behave differently than usual after activating the network functions. We recommend checking the settings on your devices.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask in our IoT Forum!

Currently, data packet buffering works only in combination with PSM, in the nearest future it should also work with eDRX. So once you activated this feature on your module, packets will be buffered automatically.

Working with different technologies like NB-IoT and LoRa? You can now manage all your LPWA devices from one place with our IoT Creators Portal!
From now on we’re providing you with the access to the LoRaWAN Network Server as part of our tariffs.
Check out our IoT Access packages and follow our guide to integrate your LoRaWAN devices.
